<h1>Multiple Character Dialogue<a class="headerlink" href="#multiple-character-dialogue" title="Permalink to this headline"> link</a></h1>
|
|
<p>Ren'Py supports displaying dialogue from multiple characters simultaneously.
|
|
Multiple dialogue is invoked by giving the lines of dialogue the multiple
|
|
argument. For example:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-renpy notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">e</span> <span class="s2">"Ren'Py supports displaying multiple lines of dialogue simultaneously."</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="n">multiple</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">2</span><span class="p">)</span>
|
|
<span class="n">l</span> <span class="s2">"About bloody time! I've been waiting for this for years."</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="n">multiple</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">2</span><span class="p">)</span>
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Multiple dialogue is invoked by passing a line of dialogue the <cite>multiple</cite> argument
|
|
with the number of lines of dialogue to combine together. (So if we had <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">multiple=3</span></code>,
|
|
three blocks of dialogue would be combined.)</p>
|
|
<p>Multiple dialogue works by showing the say screen more than once, with
|
|
different styles. Each say screen is responsible for showing dialogue from
|
|
a single character.</p>
|
|
<p>There are a few restrictions on multiple dialogue:</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li>When displaying multiple dialogue, text tags that cause the text to pause,
|
|
like {p} and {w}, will not function properly. This is because each screen is
|
|
only displayed once, and those tags require screens to be displayed multiple
|
|
times to function.</li>
|
|
<li>Auto-forward mode only works on the last block of text. While this should be
|
|
fine in most cases, it can lead to problems if the last block of text is
|
|
shorter than the rest, as auto-forward may engage early.</li>
|
|
<li>Extend will not work. (It will only apply to the last block of text.)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<div class="section" id="styles">
|
|
<h2>Styles<a class="headerlink" href="#styles" title="Permalink to this headline"> link</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Generally, the way multiple dialogue works is to display the say screen
|
|
multiple times, with the styles of various displayables systematically
|
|
renamed to reflect the block number and the number of blocks in total.</p>
|
|
<p>Specifically, multiple dialogue uses styles with names of the form
|
|
block`n`_multiple`m`_`style`, where <cite>n</cite> is the one-based number of
|
|
the block, and <cite>m</cite> is the number of blocks of dialogue being
|
|
displayed at once.</p>
|
|
<p>In our example above, the window corresponding to each block of dialogue
|
|
are given the names:</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li>block1_multiple2_say_window</li>
|
|
<li>block2_multiple2_say_window</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>This naming scheme is used for the dialogue, name, and namebox, as well
|
|
as the window. It's designed so style inheritance is useful here. For
|
|
the window styles we'll have:</p>
|
|
<dl class="docutils">
|
|
<dt>say_window</dt>
|
|
<dd>Used for the normal case of a single dialogue window, this can serve as
|
|
a base for all dialogue windows.</dd>
|
|
<dt>multiple2_say_window</dt>
|
|
<dd>This can be used for properties common to the two dialogue windows,
|
|
like changing the background and reducing the margin and padding.</dd>
|
|
<dt>block1_multiple2_say_window</dt>
|
|
<dd>This could be used to position the first of the two dialogue windows,
|
|
such as using xalign 0.0 to put it on the left side.</dd>
|
|
<dt>block2_multiple2_say_window</dt>
|
|
<dd>Similarly, this can be used to position the second window, with
|
|
xalign 1.0 putting it on the right side.</dd>
|
|
</dl>

<div class="section" id="the-multiple-say-screen">
|
|
<h2>The Multiple Say Screen<a class="headerlink" href="#the-multiple-say-screen" title="Permalink to this headline"> link</a></h2>
|
|
<p>For more control, there is the multiple_say screen. When it exists, the
|
|
multiple_say screen is used in place of the normal say screen. It takes
|
|
a third argument, <cite>multiple</cite>, which is a tuple. The first component of
|
|
the tuple is the block number, and the second is the total number of
|
|
screens.</p>

</div>

<div class="section" id="nvl-mode">
|
|
<h2>NVL-Mode<a class="headerlink" href="#nvl-mode" title="Permalink to this headline"> link</a></h2>
|
|
<p>By default, NVL-Mode displays multiple text blocks one on top of another.
|
|
This can be customized by changing the <a class="reference internal" href="screen_special.html#nvl-screen"><span class="std std-ref">nvl screen</span></a>, which is passed
|
|
a list of objects with the multiple argument that can be reorganized and presented.</p>
