Positioning of characters issue [SOLVED]

[Kindynos]

So, when working on my VN, I usually want when two characters appear for them to be next to each other.
I use the "at left" and "at right" statement, like

Code: Select all

show girl at left
with dissolve
show boy at right
with dissolve

Thing is, they appear waaaaay far from each other, like this

I need to fix them so they appear next to each other in a rather centered position, I don't know if I make myself clear, I just don't want the characters to be so far away from each other.

Also a bit unrelated that I don't really mind if it's solved, but is there a way on making a character interrupt another in the VN?

If you're never going to have them stand that far apart throughout your game, you could redefine left and right so the positions are closer together.

Code: Select all

transform left:
    xalign 0.25 #0.0 is on the very left the screen
transform right:
    xalign 0.75 #1.0 is the very right of the screen

You could also just define two new positions so you can put them wherever you want

Code: Select all

define left2 = Position(xalign=0.3)
define right2 = Position(xalign=0.7)

Just change the xalign to the position you see the be more fitting, and use left2 or right2 (or whatever you call them) instead of left and right.


For the second question you can use {nw}, like in the Documentation

The no-wait tag is a self-closing tag that causes the current line of dialogue to automatically dismiss itself once the end of line has been displayed.

Code: Select all

g "Looks like they're{nw}"
show trebuchet
g "Looks like they're{fast} playing with their trebuchet again."

This method would have worked amazingly if the pictures hadn't gone lto the top of the screen ; w ; But it still worked, and I might use it for something else!

This one helped me a lot!! Thank you, I already fixed both issues I had, and I had looked in the documentation and for some reason I couldn't make it work? I think I found out why, in any case. Thank you a lot!!
