Guys I figured out how to get an orange text box!!! FIRST MAKE A BLUE TEXTBOX , THEN ENABLE MAGNIFIER , THEN TURN ON INVERTED COLORS!! THE BLUE TEXT BOX BECOMES ORANGE!!!1!! THIS TOTALLY WORKS

[QwertymanO07]

Shouldn't blue turn to yellow, though?

[fraZ0R]

No. Also , why is there a filter on tolp which replaces any instance of "VVVVVV" with "Super Hexagon"??

My text isn't working.

Code Select Expand

...
say(16) #v
text(green,0,0,2)
Right. Can you just teleport me
already?
position(green,above)
squeak(green)
speak_active
delay(10)
endtext
flash(5)
playef(9)
shake(20)
gotoroom(1,9)
gotoposition(112,112)
play(8)
endcutscene()
loadscript(stop) #v
text(1,0,0,4) #v


I don't see what the problem could be...

You need to put squeak green before text(hurghreiu) or after speak_active

[weee50]

But even if I remove the squeak command entirely (and change the say command) it doesn't work. And if I add another text box (and change the say command) it shows up fine, but the other text still doesn't show up.

Move the delay(10) to below the endtext.

[weee50]

This also doesn't work, it just makes the terminal print this:

Code (What it prints) Select Expand

endcutscene
loadscript(stop) #v

This is the script:

Code (The script) Select Expand

say(38) #v
play(5)
text(green,0,0,1)
This is the whole Polar Dimension?
position(green,above)
squeak(green)
speak_active
text(yellow,0,0,3)
Well, with such a small dimension
at the time, why would we need a
huge polar dimension?
position(center)
squeak(green)
squeak(yellow)
speak_active
text(green,0,0,3)
You have a point. Now, you implied
that the 20th trinket would be in
this dimension.
position(green,above)
squeak(green)
speak_active
text(green,0,0,1)
So where is it?
position(green,above)
squeak(green)
speak_active
text(yellow,0,0,3)
You'll have to extract the trinket,
which is being used as a battery,
from the generator.
position(center)
squeak(green)
squeak(yellow)
speak_active
play(15)
endtext
endcutscene()
loadscript(stop) #v
text(1,0,0,4) #v


[Ally 🌠]

Move the squeaks above all the text()s, you can't have one right before speak_active.

I'm not sure if you really can't, but I've never seen it done like that before, so yeah, try and see if that's causing the problem.

My hideplayer() command isn't working, here's the script (I turned on internal scripting mode in Ved). Everything else works fine though, it just seems to ignore the hideplayer() command. I'm using VVVVVV 2.2 Make and Play edition if that helps.

Code Select Expand

hideplayer()
createcrewman(56,8,yellow)
changetile(yellow,20)
createcrewman(88,8,blue)
changetile(blue,20)
changecolour(blue,yellow)
createcrewman(120,8,blue)
changetile(blue,20)
changecolour(blue,yellow)
createcrewman(152,8,blue)
changetile(blue,20)
changecolour(blue,yellow)
createcrewman(184,8,blue)
changetile(blue,20)
changecolour(blue,yellow)
createcrewman(216,8,blue)
changetile(blue,20)
changecolour(blue,yellow)

[Dav999]

Viridian flashes a few times for a second when spawning, and because that script isn't using any kind of delay like cutscene bars with untilbars(), that hideplayer() runs before the game is done hiding and showing the player a few times itself.

[lol...ipops2]

How do I make headings?

[Dav999]

Headings in a regular text box, or massive "Level Complete" style?

If in a regular text box, you can use backgroundtext before speak/speak_active for that first text box to immediately continue with the script (and don't forget to use speak for the second text box instead of speak_active, otherwise you'll immediately erase the first one)

Massive ones aren't possible.

Is there a way to make a text box of different color without creating an entirely new crewmate? (or to at least hide the crewmate off-screen?)

I do realize that but when I created the crewmate at coordinate -25, -25 he just fell down from the corner of the screen to me.

you realize he's creating the crewmates at coordinate -25,-25 right
that literally hides them offscreen

Make sure there are solid tiles near -25 -25.

uh
Do like
-200 -200

the cause of the crewmate appearing onscreen despite offscreen coordinates is to due the room warping on all sides, either because you set it to be that way or because you're in the super gravitron room at (20, 9). place a warpline to fix this.

Make sure there are solid tiles near -25 -25.

you cannot place solid tiles (or any tiles) near (-25, -25) because 0. it is offscreen and 1. it cannot be stored in the room data.

uh
Do like
-200 -200

that wouldn't help, because the crewmate will still wraparound onscreen due to the room warping on all sides.

HOW DOES ONE MAKE VOON

if you look in dim. open's createvoon script, you'll see color 17 is used for the createentity crewmate.
