Bring Text to the Front

[lindsay-jb]

I'm adding transforms to my say screen, however whenever I use the crop in my transform it sends the window to the back and the top line of text is buried under the namebox. I'm stretching my textbox so I can't resize the namebox, as that includes the portion of the top of the textbox that's not supposed to be resized. If I don't use any transform or if I just dissolve the nametag and window in, the text is where it's supposed to be. Any help on how I can use the crop transform and keep my text in the front?

Code: Select all

screen say(who, what):
    # change who_old on dismiss
    key 'dismiss' action[SetVariable('who_old', who), Return()]

    #text "who_old is [who_old]" align(0.5, 0.05) # just for test

    style_prefix "say"

    if who is None:
        if who_old == who:
            add "gui/namebox.png":
                pos(0.063,0.333)

        if who_old != who:
            add "gui/namebox.png" at narrator_tag_in:
                pos(0.063,0.333)

        if who_old == who:
            window:
                id "middle"
                style "middle"
                text what id "what"

        if who_old != who:
            window at narrator_in:
                id "middle"
                style "middle"
                text what id "what"

transform narrator_in:
    alpha 1.0 crop (0, 0, 768, 0)
    easein 0.6 crop (0, 0, 768, 800)

transform narrator_tag_in:
    alpha 0.4
    easein .2 alpha 1.0

Below are some screenshots. Example 1 shows what it looks like after using the crop transform, example 2 is what it looks like if no transform is used to show the textbox.

I’ve been messing with this and have come to discover it’s not an issue with the text not being at the front. The problem is that the transform is cropping starting from the top of the window so the words are cutting cropped off. How can I change the starting point for the crop? This has been driving me a little crazy.

there is only two thing you can do is to make the textbox bigger or shorting the sentence.
