Narrator custom textbox issue with switching scenes

[chesarty]

I have two separate textboxes, one of the characters and one for narration. The issue is that when I switch to a new scene and Renpy loads in the textbox, the default (character) textbox shows up for a split second before it turns into the narrator one. It's not a huge problem and it works how it's programmed to, but it's just a bit ugly-looking seeing the other textbox before the one I want shown. Is there a way to fix it?

On a similar note, I have the scene where the player inputs their name and I want the textbox in that to be the narrator textbox instead of the character one. How do I do that?

Here's the input code:

Code: Select all

screen input(prompt):
    style_prefix "input"

    window:


        vbox:
            xalign gui.dialogue_text_xalign
            xpos gui.dialogue_xpos
            xsize gui.dialogue_width
            ypos gui.dialogue_ypos

            text prompt style "input_prompt"
            input id "input"
            input length 10
            input caret "blink"
            



style input_prompt is default

style input_prompt:
    xalign gui.dialogue_text_xalign
    properties gui.text_properties("input_prompt")

style input:
    xalign gui.dialogue_text_xalign
    xmaximum gui.dialogue_width

Code: Select all

    $ name = renpy.input("{i}I'm not an idiot! My name is...{/i}", length=10)
    $ name = name.strip()
    if name == "":
        $ name="Izumi"

Hi, chesarty,

Possibly this can help, although l am not sure if there is a better way to do it.

Thank you! That fixed the problem! The only issue now is the fact that that also gets rid of the textbox when there is an input screen...
