Ren'Py Defining characters text customization.

[Rabobi]

Hi

This might be a really stupid question, but when defining your characters and their text colour and icon images is it possible to include some kind of text tag, so that text will always be done according to that tag.

For example I want may players thoughts to always be in italics, so I've tried the following which won't work.

#Characters
define m = Character("[playerName]",color="#0041ff", image="icon_mc")
define t = Character("[playerName]'s thoughts",color="#0041ff", {i}{/i}, image="icon_mct")

If I'm not able to change the style, is it possible to us something like the {alpha=.5} tags.

Otherwise I guess I'll just have to settle for a different font colour.

Totes Not Simon

You should try:
define think = Character( "[playerName]'s thoughts",color="#0041ff", what_italic=True)

It should work

Awesome Bip that works perfectly.

Thanks, doubly the good info.
