Alright - I'm working on a Visual Novel - and I was wondering if there was a way to position a character's dialogue in the center of the screen - yalign 0.5, and all, without using show text "etcetc" For example this is what I have set up for my Character.
This is what I have for my character when he 'speaks' in a certain voice. I wanted it to be at the center of the screen versus normal dialogue with the textbox showing in the background. Any ideas? Do I insert a specific property in the Character code block? Or go into options/gui rpy files? Thanks for your time.
WIP: Ring av Guder - (Contemporary Fantasy VN/Dating Sim?)
What do you get when you inherit a mystical ring, meet Norse Dieties, and Werewolves, Satyrs, or Dwarves? Possibilities.
General Completion: 5% - (Still working on story plot.)
Story status: 1% (In progress of revamping)
Scripting: 1% (Prologue is about done)
Character Art: 0% (Would like to find a Bara-type Artist, but will learn to draw them myself if necessary)
BG/CG's: 0% (None so far)
I assume you mean center as in vertically - in which case I think you just need to replicate the say screen and make it your own. Align that screen however you like (with xalign 0.5 yalign 0.5).

Wow Thanks! I thought it was something like that, but I wasn't sure exactly thanks so much.
