ADV window comes up upon window show rather than NVL

[Konojolras]

Alright, so I'm working on a NVL based game and just at the beginning the ADV box dissolves in rather than the NVL box.
Game starts, an ADV box fades in, disappears immediately and NVL pops in abruptly. Then I use "window hide" and NVL box fades out normally. I use "window show" again and it does so normally once more.
It is only at the very beginning of the label.

Code: Select all

label start:
    scene sunset with dissolve
    window show
    n ".................................................."
    n "................................................."
    n "..........................................................
       .................................
       ......................
       ..................
       ......................."
    nvl clear
    window hide
    window show
    n "......."

I'm probably missing something terribly obvious but it'd be a relief to fix it
Thanks.

Using window show is what's causing the problem. The program is designed to show the ADV box when that command is first called, since it's the more commonly used textbox. The way around it is to Not use 'window show' at the beginning of a label. Once the window has been in use then you can use 'window show.'

Why are you using 'window show' anyway? It's not like you actually need it. The window you need will pop up automatically. Window show is normally used for keeping a blank window on screen when text isn't in use.

Code: Select all

label start:
    scene sunset with dissolve

    nvl ".................................................."
    nvl "................................................."
    nvl "..........................................................
       .................................
       ......................
       ..................
       ......................."
    nvl clear
    window show # to keep the box on screen.

    nvl "......."
    nvl ".................................................."
    nvl "................................................."
    nvl clear
