I am trying to make it so that my dialogue box will keep a certain distance away from my character. As you can see, it's not so much of a problem with small texts, but larger bits of texts overlay her completely. I want to keep the origin point of the chatbox a certain distance away from the character's head, but am unsure how to go about programming this. Any ideas?

The easiest solution would be to set the origin point of both the dialogue box and the text to the bottom-right corner.

This will make it so when you increase the size of them, they grow up and left instead of in all directions
