How do you get a character to do the "blinking" animation? For example, their sprite is on screen, but someone else is talking.


I've looked and looked, and can't find it… Confused


Thanks in advance.

All characters???


Because if you found the sprite called "Combined" it's the true some times some characthers with all you'r sprite is "combined" or Talking or blinking the blinking become talking.

If you tell me what characters you wish I'll fix this!

Alright, here's a concrete example.


From The First Turnabout (PW:AA):

Towards the beginning, Mia is on screen, but Phoenix is talking. Here's what I have:


char mia nametag=Phoenix

"Um… thanks."

"Actually, it's because I owe him a favor."


The nametag thing works, and Mia *is* on screen, but her mouth is moving. How can I stop her mouth? How can I get her to stand there and blink, but still "print" the text?

You should put Mia on the screen, and then add a hidden phoenix character who will do the talking.


char mia

char phoenix hide

"Hi Mia. Um. What am I supposed to do again?"

Awesome – thanks!


For some reason, I thought doing that would get rid of Mia and show Phoenix, then hide him.


On an unrelated note, in what language is PyWright programmed?

It's programmed in python, and is open source. All of the code is in the core directory :)


Usually the char command does delete the old character, but the hide argument prevents it, since the main reason for it is this very situation. Also, the stack argument to char will let you add multiple characters without them being deleted.
