How to Make My Text Running (Letter by Letter)?

[cathsplat]

Hi! So I've been studying Renpy for my first ever project now, and I can't figure out how to make my text/dialog running. I can break the sentences with {w} or {p} code, but I want it to make it appear letter by letter, like Steins Gate, or most of the VNs I've played before. I've searched for the code on the renpy site as well, but still nothing. Is there a code I can download or did I miss something on renpy's official site? Thanks before, guys~XD

Okay so open up Ren'Py and then open the options.rpy for your game. In there look for this:

Code: Select all

    ## The default text speed in characters per second. 0 is infinite.

    config.default_text_cps = 0

cps stands for Characters ("characters" means letters, numbers, whatever else you use in your text) Per Second. If it is set to 0 it means the characters come all at once in one big block. So just change the 0 to a different number. Then that many characters will appear on screen per second. You'll probably want to make the number pretty high so the text doesn't come by super slowly.

Whoaa I've seen that one in renpy and gave it a try, but nothing happened XD
Wait, let me give it another try~^^
Thanks so much for the help!

No problem :>. Let me know if it doesn't work.

Just gave it a try and all those words still came in once. I inserted the number 20, and then changed it to 200, and even randomly typed 1568 just to see if it reacted. Still couldn't make my text run :\

Oh right I think you need to put .0 at the end. So for example "99.0" instead of simply "99".

Okay, just tried it again (with .0) on my game, still didn't work T^T~ I even tried to edit 'The Question' (that game by Renpy) and it showed no difference. Thanks for the help, again, sorry for the troubles

Here's the screenshot of the code:

Hit the "Delete Persistence" Button under Navigate Script on the main Ren'Py screen. That ought to do it.

And it's alright, you don't need to apologize. I am the one who keeps forgetting the steps and having to add more to the explanation XD.

WOW IT WORKS!!
Can't stop clicking my text now *excited* XDDDD
Thankyou! Thanks so much!
Now I can continue on the project

[Googaboga]

Hooray .

Sorry I forgot all those extra steps. I remembered it being so simple I completely forgot you had to do those other few things. Still I'm glad it all worked out in the end.

Good luck with your project ^^.

Thanks, thanks! I'll let you know when the project's done~^^

Once again thankyou very much dear sir/miss

That's great. I look forward to seeing what you make :].
