Vertically centered text in the text box??

[bambino358]

Hi,
I cannot figure out how to vertically centered dialogue text in the textbox.

In the textbox can be 1-3 lines of the text and I want to have the text always in the middle of the textbox. For better ilustration I add simple image to ilustrate, what I want to achieve.

I use Ren'Py 7.0.0.

Basic code for "text position in the textbox" uses "ypos". I tried to replace it with "yalign", but it doesn't work (or I don't know how to do it properly).

So the question is… how to vertically centered dialogue text in the textbox?

Thank you

have you tried using the special characters?
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/dialogue ... characters

Code: Select all

vcentered "this dialogue is centered vertically"
centered "this dialogue is centered horizontally and vertically"

you can also probably define the position of the window when defining the characters.

Code: Select all

define e = Character("Eileen", window_align=(0.5, 0.5), who_xalign=0.5, what_xalign=0.5)
label start:
	e "this dialogue is centered *i think*"

or pass parameters in a say statement

Code: Select all

label start:
	e "this dialogue is centered *i think*" (window_align=(0.5, 0.5), who_xalign=0.5, what_xalign=0.5)

or refer to this guide and tweak the different styles found below the say screen in screens.rpy.

I think I tried "centered" but the text was in the middle of the screen not in the middle of the textbox, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for reply I'll try it in a few hours.

Thank you,
this code do the job:

Code: Select all

define e = Character("name", window_align=(0.5, 1.0), what_xalign=0.5, what_yalign=0.5)
