For the most part, this code works as expected - even when there are multiple windows onscreen at once.
However, if two windows include text that begins with the same word, only the last one is displayed. I have a theory about what might be causing this (perhaps Ren'Py interprets that word as a tag to one of the elements, and will only show one element at a time for a given tag?) but haven't been able to find a relevant section in the documentation. I've tried unsuccessfully to add a "tag=" argument to some of the displayables and see if I can find one that's the source of the problem - and maybe pass unique tag values to - but haven't had any luck so far.
Here is some code that demonstrates the problem.
Code: Select all
transform bubble_move(txt, ypos, background="000",delay=0,style_name="bubble_window",yoffset=-200,xadjust=0.5):
#Makes sure bubbles are spaced out and don't overlap
time delay
Window(Text(txt, size=20), style_name)
ypos ypos
#xalign 0.5
xalign xadjust
alpha 0.1
parallel:
linear 0.5 alpha 1.0
parallel:
#Speed and direction are handled by yoffset
linear 2 yoffset -200
parallel:
pause 1.5
linear 0.5 alpha 0.1
