The hideText function

Syntax:hideText() Returns:nil

This function is used to hide the text window with the transition specified in the config file. This will always be a blocking transition.

It is usually called before the transition to a new scene.

Remarks

The text window will remain hidden until new dialogue is displayed by using the say function or a Character object.

Examples

say "It's getting late."

-- Hide the text window
hideText()

-- Change the scene
scene("sky sunset.png")

-- Show the text window again
say "I should hurry."
