Hi all!
I’m having a bit of trouble setting a character specific textbox. My code is as follows:
define X = Character(window_background=“blankbox.png”)
As far as I can tell, this should replace the usual textbox with blankbox.png for this character, but keep all other settings the same as the usual textbox.

How did you alter your `say screen` code styles to handle the full-screen textbox? There are quite a few dependencies based off of each other like placement of text within the textbox and the location of the `namebox`. Maybe if you posted your `say screen` code it would be easier to diagnose.
And is `blankbox.png` in ... | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |
I'm sure it's not a null image, since changing window_xalign and window_yalign can make the image itself show up.
This is the dialogue section of the GUI file if that helps - I don't believe I've made any edits to the say screen code. The image file for the textbox is the size of the screen, with the textbox positione... | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |
As an update, I’ve managed to fix it by using window_xalign + window_yalign as I explained in the main post and compensating for the offset dialogue by manually changing “what_yoffset” until it matched the usual positioning.
It’s a bit of a clunky way of resolving the issue and I’m sure there’s a better way of doing i... | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-02-08 |
All of these values are just constants that are used by styles of the `say screen`. You'd still probably have to modify the *styles* as well.

if it cannot be found, it is because you either just misspelled the file name or the directory you gave in the code is just wrong.

The art renders will go into the images folder. When to display scenes and show or hide sprites is in-line with your dialogue. There's no way to separate that. Ren'Py executes code linearly. Use *The Question* as a basic example of how to do that. | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-04-08 |

If I'm understanding correctly, you could add flags.
I have for example this flag before Start:

Which is a skill in cooking.
Then, in a menu choosing cooking something, I add:
$ skill_cocina = True
So now this flag of cooking is True. It will unlock other options in other menu... | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-03-08 |
Creating a list sounds like a good idea.
Before your start label (or a different file) put this:

Then during your story, I guess, there will be some menu choices. For the right choices add:
"place1":
$ visited_places.append("place1")

This is one of those things where it helps to know a *smidge* of Python.
If you don't want the player to go back to a location, then you could use a menu with a menuset.
Best of luck! | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-03-08 |
Actually I do have one question, how would I make it so that they ALL need to be true for it to progress? Do I separate the flags with commas, or put them on their own line, or will that just make it so one of them has to be true? Again, thank you so much for all your help | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-03-08 |
IT WORKED!!! You're absolutely incredible omg, thanks so so much! | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-03-08 |
I've seen others have answered way better than me, I would have used separated flags each on their own line lol. | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-03-08 |
No problem!
BTW:
`len()` is a function that gives you the *length* of a collection like a list or set. In this case the length is the number of entries in the set so the number of places visited. It will also give you the length of a string, so `len("Hello")` would be 5.

Yeah that sounds like something I'd be interested in.
Do you mean art style/setting/game type? | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-05-08 |
I can help you with whatever youd like, the only thing Im not good at is soundtrack related things. Ive made games before with Twinery, this is my first RenPy game, the coding seems fairly simple for me to grasp. On my end I just need art style things. Im making a silly game called "My Zombie Girlfriend" where you will... | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-05-08 |
Sounds like a really cool concept.
I'm down for just having someone to bounce ideas and art etc off.
