Text not justified or centered [ SOLVED]

[JinzouTamashii]

The text isn't justifying...

Everyone takes the kind=char property and char has it enabled, but the first and second lines are not justified... I also can't seem to center it now, though I have declared what_xalign=0.5 as a tuple.

I can take them out or add them, it doesn't matter. Absolutely nothing changes.

Code: Select all

$ char = Character(what_slow_cps=35, who_suffix = ':', what_prefix='“', what_suffix='”', ctc=anim.Blink("arrow.png", xpos=760, ypos=560, xanchor=0, yanchor=0), ctc_position="fixed", show_two_window=True, show_who_window_properties={ "background" :  "namebox.png" }, what_font="MPlantin.ttf", color="#D1D1D1", what_outlines=[ (1, "#678")], justify=True, window_right_padding=110, what_xalign=0.5)

It's a lame placeholder but please ignore it.

This is the character's code.

Code: Select all

$ m = Character('Madhavi', color="#9966CC", what_outlines=[ (1, "#A7B") ], kind=char)

I would also like to add the outline into the namebox.

Hi JinzouTamashii

The problem is the Character Object doesn't have the property justify. This property is from the TEXT of the Character. Then, you must declare a style for your character, this style has the property justify.

Example:

Code: Select all

$ style.create("justify_style", "default", u"(text) Justify Style")

$ style.justify_style.justify = True

$ char = Character(what_slow_cps=35, who_suffix = ':', what_prefix='“', what_suffix='”', ctc=anim.Blink("arrow.png", xpos=760, ypos=560, xanchor=0, yanchor=0), ctc_position="fixed", show_two_window=True, show_who_window_properties={ "background" :  "namebox.png" }, what_font="MPlantin.ttf", color="#D1D1D1", what_outlines=[ (1, "#678")], what_style = "justify_style", window_right_padding=110, what_xalign=0.5)

Thanks for attention

Oh! I have learned something new now! I am sure this will be helpful to everyone!

[JinzouTamashii]

I wonder if I can also turn

Code: Select all

style.say_who_window.xalign = 0.25

for the namebox into a style only to be inherited by certain characters (major ones with portraits)?

[PyTom]

Rather than creating an entire new style, you could have simply added:

what_justify=True

to the character. In a character, style properties can be used with prefixes. the what_ prefix applies to the actual dialogue. The window_ prefix applies to the window. The who_ prefix (or no prefix at all) applies to the name of the Character.
