Need Help with text box thingy

[dandelionfluff]

Hey so I'm new to this stuff and practically have no experience in coding and needed some help on this.

So I want to black text box thing to continue when you click and not disappear and then reappear if you know what I mean. When I added another character emotion it now does this on this one part of the game. Is there anyway I can make it back to the way it was?

Put this line of code at the start of your game:

Code: Select all

$ _window_during_transitions = True

Be warned that if you're switching CGs back and forth and doing transitions on them (like fading, or shaking the screen) the textbox WILL reappear during then. If you don't want that to happen, add the code in front of the CG and change True to False, then after the CG is done readd the code with the True value.

Hope that helps!

Thanks yuucie but it seems like it still doesn't work. I tried adding the code infront of the CG but I kinda don't understand what you mean in the last part. Do you think you can give me an example? If not thanks again!

Where did you add the code to? in your script.rpy, add it after:

Code: Select all

label start: 

$ _window_during_transitions = True

#rest of game goes here

As for the example, imagine that you have a character racing down the street late for school. Suddenly, she bumps into Guy A, in which you want a CG of him to pop up with a screen shake (hpunch). If you don't turn off textbox transitions, the entire CG will have a textbox on it which you may not want.

In that case, I would code it as such:

Code: Select all

label start: ### Start your game, or label as each part is called

$ _window_during_transitions = True ###Paste the code here so that your textbox won't keep flashing

### Game script here, textbox will stay during expression changes

show Girl neutral with dissolve

Girl "What time is it...?"

show Girl panic with dissolve

Girl "Oh no I'm late for school!"

scene bg outdoors
with Dissolve

"I ran down the streets, and turned a corner---"


$ _window_during_transitions = False ###Here you don't want the textbox to show when you flash a CG, so put the code here

with hpunch ### This shakes the screen

scene bg CGofGuyA  ### calls up a CG
with Dissolve

$ _window_during_transitions = True ###You want the textbox to show up again and not disappear during expression changes, so put this line of code here

Guy "Hey, watch it!"
Girl "Oops!"

### rest of game

Sorry if it wasn't clear! ### are just notes btw not actual code

I also found the window statement in the Ren'py documentation:

http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/ref ... _Statement

I tested this with the following code:

Code: Select all

    window show

    show cheshire closed eye smile 
    with Pause(1)

    hide cheshire
    with dissolve
