It's different to my normal GUI textbox height.
My custom textbox image is 1280 x 275.
My code:
Code: Select all
define tbelle_embarass = Character("You", window_background="tb_testchar_1", textbox_height="275")
and
Code: Select all
image tb_testchar_1 = "gui/tb_tstchr/tb_testchr_1.png"
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, and I've scowered the wiki and I can't seem to find anything to help.

Enclosing things around "" will make them string (text), to specify numbers you include them as is. Eg. 255 as 255 etc.
Also, you can try this.
Code: Select all
define tbelle_embarass = Character("You", window_background="tb_testchar_1", window_ysize=275)
The properties that you can use are all stated in here.
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/style_pr ... properties.
You just specify what part of the character to style, in this case it's window because it's prefixed with window_, other components can also be styled, refer to this to know what to prefix to the styles
