[Solved] id "who" and id "what" overriding custom styles

[SypherZent]

The "say" screen requires that text what and text who both contain the "id" parameter.

However, I have found that if I try to change the font, color, etc. within the "text" parameter inside the say screen itself, the "id" parameter overrides all of my settings.

Code: Select all

screen say:

    if who:
        text who:
            id "who"
            color "#ffffff"
            size 56

    text what:
        id "what"
        color "#111111"
        size 42

Here is a very basic example. I don't want the "id" parameter to override the custom styles I set in this screen because the game I am developing has dozens of styles and they must be dynamic. Ren'Py's static settings in gui.rpy are not good enough for what I need to accomplish.

However, the game breaks if I remove the "id" parameter. Text tags such as {w} no longer work or in the worst cases, the game simply crashes.

I need the "id" parameter to stop applying styles altogether and to stop affecting the custom style properties that I use in this screen.

How can I make the "id" parameter stop overriding my custom styles?

I believe it only overwrites the styles if you provide a style when defining a character or provide a style using argument. So you can simply not specify styles when defining characters.

Also, if you temporarily want to change some `say` styles, a possibly better approach is to use `say` with style argument:

Code: Select all

"Red text" (what_color="#f00")
