Text Skipping in Ren'Py

#1 Post by wellsgrant »

So I'm trying to show text in game and I have this code

Code: Select all

    #Game Intro

    stop music
    scene black
    pause 4.5
    show text "{color=#D80000}Title Screen{/color}" at truecenter
    with dissolve
    pause 5.0
    hide text
    pause 2.5

    #Game Intro Done
But in game it skips the text. Am I doing something wrong?
Ooo look... a penny!

Is there anything else?
You need at least one line of dialogue after the text/image

I fixed it. In the settings there is an option to skip Unseen Text and stuff and I thought that only referred to when I had the game skipping using tab or control. Sorry about that!
