Textbox over nvl textbox?

#1 Post by recreation »

Hi, I'm new here. Used renpy for a while and was lurking around but just registered.

Question:
I know it's possible to show two textboxes, but is it somehow possible to show an ordinary textbox over an nvl textbox without loosing the content of the nvl textbox?
I'll attach some screens. they should be self explanatory (hopefully).

I'm not a scripting guru btw, so go slow on me please ^^"

No. You can't. Sad truth.
The solution is to change that phone into a screen that display text, not using normal renpy dialogues.
Something at average coding level.
If you want to debate on a reply I gave to your posts, please QUOTE ME or i'll not be notified about. << now red so probably you'll see it.

10 ? "RENPY"
20 GOTO 10

Oh no...
Coding itself isn't the problem. The documentation is just not the best. I'm having a hard time understanding stuff without any examples and even if there are some, then the explanation is mostly lacking... :/

Thanks anyway. I'll have a look into it.
