Centering Text in Namebox

[serene-artist]

I was reading the cookbook but couldn't really understand how to create a separate window for my character names. I don't think any instructions were given...just that it was recommended. I don't know if I posted in the right place, but please help!
And thanks in advance! A picture has been attached to clear up what I want. (SOLVED but NEW PROBLEM DOWN BELOW!)

You have to put "show_two_window = True" when you define the character

Code: Select all

e = Character('Eileen'), show_two_window=True)

Thank you so much. No jokes, I was stuck on this for an hour (;n; )
PLEASE except my gratitude!!! Thanks for answering so fast too! You are my savior \(0u0\)

A new problem has arrived
Sorry, does anyone know how to CENTER the name?
I tried using
style.say_who_window.xalign = 0.10 under options.rpy but it only moved the namebox rather than the font inside!!

Please and thanks in advance again!

Change

Code: Select all

id "who"

to

Code: Select all

id "who" xalign .5

in the else block in screen.rpy under screen say.

Change

Code: Select all

id "who"

to

Code: Select all

id "who" xalign .5

in the else block in screen.rpy under screen say.

Huh, I tried this and it didn't change anything.

I just tried it and it works for me

Code: Select all

    else:

        # The two window variant.
        vbox:
            style "say_two_window_vbox"

            if who:            
                window:
                    style "say_who_window"

                    text who:
                        id "who" xalign .5

This is what my code looks like, but it isn't working.

[DragoonHP]

This is how my output looks

And it might be a silly question, but you are using the show_two_window variant right?

[FatUnicornGames]

Well...that just made things worse. xD

[DragoonHP]

(you aren't using the two_windows_variant, right?)

If yes, then

Code: Select all

background None
yoffset -10
xoffset 12
text who id "who" xalign .5

should work for you.

If it doesn't, then I have no idea where it is going wrong.

[FatUnicornGames]

Yeah, it just made things all crazy like the screen cap above. It isn't that big of a deal, so I won't use it.

Thanks for trying.

[DragoonHP]

Okay found out why it's not showing up correctly for you. (Because of frame; see the size of frame depends upon the space the text takes, so trying to center the text is all but futile in it.

So instead of trying to center (or reposition) the text, try to reposition the frame.

Code: Select all

            if who:
                frame:
                    background None
                    yoffset -10
                    xoffset 12
                    xalign 0.5 ?# Change it to fit your needs
                    text who id "who"

[FatUnicornGames]

Hmm...it is making the names jump around each time the screen changes.

[DragoonHP]

Jump around?
