Show image "as"

[cattro]

So I have this mini game in mind for my game, and it's proving trickery than I imagined

Code: Select all

show back as card1 at o1 with easeintop
    show back as card2 at o2 with easeintop
    show back as card3 at o3 with easeintop

Now, let's say we select card2, the card would flip over

Code: Select all

show rabbit as card2

And then I'd true to move it with
show card2 at truecenter with move

Renpy doesn't recognize "card2" at all. I wouldn't mind if it was just one card but I have a lot to do with all the cards in the game. I defined a few and they work just fine, but it really limits what I wanted to do!
Is there an easier way to do this? Am I using "as" completely wrong?

[cattro]

anyone? I'm really having trouble with this I'm not sure the best way to do this!

Is the indentation right? Your code looks like its indentation is not consistent.

Other than that, I'm not sure, but your use of "as" looks right. Could you give more relevant code?

[Asceai]

Nope; unfortunately, what you are trying to do just won't work. All I can think of is writing some custom Python functions that call renpy.show and set an appropriate store value to the card image, so you can retrieve that and use it when you want to move a card without changing it.

Now it's me who is confused. Isn't "as" there to do things exactly like what he wants to do?

Nope, it is meant to allow you showing the same image twice without automatically replacing the first, it doesn't actually redefine anything.
