Character text

Hi guys, I was wondering if there is a way to place the character texts in a fixed location instead of nearby the character. I would like to make the text something like this:








Thanks in advance.

yeah...

if you want to use normal displayed text (text spoken by the character) then you need to use the registerHookFunction in a lua script to control the position of the text.

but a much simpler method is if it is narration text (text not spoken by a character or text that doesn't require triggering the speech animation of a character) then you can use the "display speaker text" action part under "miscellaneous" which allows you to absolute position the text on the current scene.

Beautiful! Thank you!

Using "Display Speaker Text" seems to only take into account the absolute position of the scene, so the only consistent way I see of the text appearing where it should is if the scenes don't scroll. Is there a way to have the text appear in a specific location relative to the current screen and not the whole screen?

And would it be possible to assign something like this to the Dialog function?

yeah there is actually a plug & play narration lua script to set the narration text to the center of the screen, regardless of scene scroll.

just add the script as a definition script & change the "- 100" bits to whatever y position you need them to be.

* edit: there are some screenshot instructions for it here http://www.visionaire-studio.net/forum/thread/speaker-text-w...

Wow, thank you so much for the lightning-fast reply! This should work great.

no problem
