I have tried MULTIPLE! tutorials and nothing works, when I try to assign a specific box for a characters dialouge it just doesn't show up. The text appears, but behind it is nothing! I've been trying to figure it out myself for the past few days, but sadly I only have an estimated one(1) brain cell and nothing I've tried has worked. So, I thought it'd be best to ask around before I "accidentally" punt my computer into the sun. What I have currently is below and the error message is attached. I'm very sorry if this is an incredibly dumb question, but help would be SO VERY APPRECIATED! I also don't know how this forum format works (im new) and I can't find my glasses, so I apologize if I posted this in the wrong place.
define n = Character(window_background="gui/textboxnar.png", what_ypos=41, what_color="#5aa7c4")
(Note: if you do a transition, the default box could flash before the narrator box appears. I personally just use the "window hide" statement before narrator's lines to fix this issue. There might be a better way to fix this, I'll work on finding it. I'll update this if I do.)
~There is almost always a better, easier way to approach a problem.~
Just tried this out, thanks so much for responding, and although I don't get an error message this time The Text Box Still Doesn't Appear Maybe something is wrong with how my default textbox is set up (it's been working, but I wouldn't be surprised if something about it was causing this) does this look correct?:
