This is perfect! Thanks a bunch, I'm definitely checking this out. Thanks for taking the time to reply, it's very much appeciated.

Hi! I'm sorry to ask questions at somebody elses topic, but I had the same question! I don't have the most recent version of Construct, so I couldn't download your example.

I have this dialog box that I want to appear when I tap a sign, or NPC or whatever. I'm still connecting the dots on what's the best way to do this (please bear with me, I'm a rookie, I downloaded the program like 3 days ago). So yeah, I want that dialog box to fade and move in when I tap. For the movement, this is what I have now:

Needless to say, it doesn't work. Would you mind telling me why? Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone! Short introduction, I'm Yoel, 19 years old, and I've done Pokémon fan game developing in RPG Maker XP since I was 13. My background is strictly graphic/visual, so no coding for me. RPG Maker has given me a fair introduction to events, though.

So yeah!

I want to move forward and create an RPG app; something that might seem pretty impossible for someone who's new to the software. I've got the walking animations (kinda) down and I want to move forward to step two now: dialogue boxes.

So here's what I've tried:

I have an invisible sprite (txtbox_0) that's anchored to the bottom of the screen. When I tap a sign, NPC or whatever, that sprite spawns a text box (txtbox_1). I still can't really seem to find a simple way to spawn text for individual objects, though.

Is there anyone who can help me with this? Thanks a lot in advance.
