Trouble showing images on top of a full size screen while keeping the "say" screen functional. [Solved]

Hi! I know my question is a mouthful, hopefully this image will illustrate it better.



Basically I have this map screen that covers the whole screen. And I'm trying to create a tutorial for it. So I thought it would be fun if I could have characters speaking over it as they explain it. However, I believe that any image that I show with the show statement immediately goes below the screen, hiding the character. So my question is, how could I make it so the images are shown on top of it?

The way I did it was in this order.

show screen x

show image y

The second issue that I ran into, and I once again think is caused due to the size of the map screen, is that it's no longer possible to keep the dialogue moving. As soon as the screen appears you can't move to the next piece of text. And even the skip button does nothing.

Is your screen modal? Image issue can be solved by defining a new layer above screens layer and displaying your images on it (master layer, which is used to display images by default is indeed under the screen layer)

It isn't, but I was thinking of creating a modal screen so I could pass arguments and shows arrows and what not to highlight different parts of the screen.

Code: Select all

python:
        renpy.show_screen('map', _layer = 'background')
        renpy.show_screen('showText', 'Lol', .5, .5, _layer = 'background')

    show image: 
        xalign atLeft
        zoom regZoom
        yalign regZoomY

I found a solution.
