Hi, I use the actor. Talk() method and works fine, but I have a panel at the top on the screen that when actor is near the top and talk, the text is showed in front of panel. I would like that if the text will show between Y=0 and Y=20 position, it will display at Y=21 coordinates. Doing this the text will not block this panel.

Any idea to do something like this?

Thanks!

If you need some fixed GUI and limit where the scene is painted, perhaps you should use scene viewport (you can set viewport in ProjectMan).

This solution doesn't work in my case. This panel is not always visible. In some intros and scenes this panel doesn't show. I need any way to do that the talk sentences will display at Y=21 when it would be display at Y<21 at default.

Any way to do this?

Thanks

Well you can override the subtitle position with the "Subtitles*" set of properties. So perhaps an overridden Talk method, that would check actor's position and change the subtitle position appropriately might do the trick.

But the actors position is relative to scale, not always the same position will show the subtitles at Y<21. How can I know if the subtitles will be show at Y<21 coordenate?

actor.Y + actor.Height should give you the center point of the subtitle (as long as the scene doesn't scroll verticallly). actor.Height takes scaling into account.
