Name and Dialouge Spacing

#1 Post by Jadenday »

I wanted to put more space between the in-game dialogue text and the name text. How do I do that? I tried using style.nvl_vbox.box_spacing = 500 but it doesn't work. I seem to find this answer anywhere.

In gui.rpy under 'Dialogue' you have different variables for the "say window".

You have gui.name_xpos and gui.name_ypos to position the name text in the textbox, and
gui.dialogue_xpos and gui.dialogue_ypos to do the same for the dialogue text.

That should make it possible for you to position the name and dialogue in relation to each other as you want.
