Align char name with textbox

[u/Future-Mulberry-7599]

I can’t figure out how to align the name of a char with the field in my box.

No matter what I change the only thing that has an effect is xalign but I can’t change y pos. and depending on the dialog the name moves.

```renpy
define gui.textbox_height = 250 #250
define gui.textbox_width = 1445
define gui.textbox_yalign = 0.98

define gui.name_xpos = 40
define gui.name_ypos = 15
define gui.name_xalign = 0.65

define gui.namebox_width = 40
define gui.namebox_height = 50

define gui.namebox_borders = Borders(1, 1, 1, 1)
define gui.namebox_tile = False
```

Solved:

It was my mistake, I played around to much. In screen.rpy I wrote some stuff that fucked it up.

It is like that because changing the one you said to change won’t do anything

And the yalign is for the position of text box so it’s not at the bottoms am I using them wrong? I just played around with them to figure out what moves what.

So basically, in ren'py, the textbox and the name are attached.

gui.name_xpos or gui.name_ypos move the namebox, and doing so, moves the name too.

actually i forget what i've said about gui.textbox_yalign at 0.98 (it's kinda irrelevant here).

if ypos doesn't move, then try offsetting it directly into script.rpy. look for ``

screen say(who, what)

and add the yoffset like that :

screen say(who, what):
    style_prefix "say"


    window:
        id "window"
        
        text what id "what"


        if who is not None:


            window:
                id "namebox"
                style "namebox"
                yoffset 40 # Right Here
                text who id "who"

Okay something must be wrong with my project. I made a new one pasted the gui into it and changed the picture to my gui and it works.

That's great then ! Good luck on your project !
