I had 2 this.strings with the same name, and it did not overwrite the other...so yes, I think there is such thing.
See attached level.

Nah. Script gani would be no good, one simple reason being I don't want to give my scripts away.
I see your point, but it seems a little neurotic. Still, you're entitled to that.

Quote:
Another simple reason being, it fits fine in my GUI...
Well, yes, but that's not a reason not to use script ganis.

Quote:
it really does not make a difference either.
Yes it does. Example: You want to have a talking rock. The rock is not a player, it is just a rock. Would your current system be able to draw the chat text for it? Maybe, if you iterated through the NPCs as well as the players but then it gets more complicated. Using a script gani would be an adherence to the fundamentals of object-oriented programming, and that's a Good Thing.

I think it looks great the way it is...
Well, it wouldn't look any different if it were drawn with a script gani.

Quote:
Actually, am I able to have it in a script gani with different image layers?
Yes.

Quote:
Right now, when to bubbles hit each other, they merge, and the text is on the same layer so you can image. Can this be avoided in a gani?
I'm not sure what you mean. Two bubbles from different people? If so then I concede that there might be problems. Not insurmountable problems, but problems nonetheless.
