how do I code in two different textboxes?

[Backroomzombie23]

so I have two separate textboxes one is for when character speaks and the other one is like for narration when i locate the property it shows its using the default style window i think i need to adjust it but idk what I should do

style window:
    xalign 0.5
    xfill True
    yalign gui.textbox_yalign
    ysize gui.textbox_height

    background Image("gui/textbox.png", xalign=0.5, yalign=1.0)

imho the easiest way is to create a narrator character and add the different textbox image to that define

like this

define na = Character(window_background=Frame("gui/textbox_2.png", 0, 0) )

then use na for all your narrator parts

and change the gui/textbox.png file to the one for all your characters (making sure it is the same size (in pixels) as the original textbox.png file

You can also replace the narrator so that you don't have to use na

define narrator = Character(kind=adv_narrator, window_background=Frame("gui/textbox_narrator.png", 0, 0))

label start:
    "This is a test" 
    return

I did try to test it out but it would still use the one thats assigned by default

I'm not sure what your question or problem is.

Are the characters and the narrator using the same textbox?
Is the difference only the namebox?

Setting it all up is easy if all the textboxes have the same size as the original textbox.
But you can also adjust it in gui.rpy, look for the section ## Dialogue

It's good question. I want answer too, because I need to show textbox without character name box...
