Can image path be variable[SOLVED]

[Luxliev]

I've tried to use

Code: Select all

:
$ path = "images/logo_base.png"

image logo = "[path]"

I believe simply using

Code: Select all

image logo = path

should work
"[variable]" is for using with "spoken" text

Oh I see thanks. Can I make it more dynamic? So it'll update if I'll change path? When I reload image currently it shows me same image as before:

Code: Select all

init python:
    path = "images/logo_base.png"

image logo = path

label start:
    show logo

    "1"

    hide logo

    $ path = "images/logo_mini.png"
   
    "2"

    show logo
    
    "3"
    
    return

did you simply try using

Code: Select all

show path

?

Doesn't work it just shows gray image with variable name (path)

When try

Code: Select all

show expression path

Here is a modern way (6.99.7~) http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/displayab ... namicImage

Code: Select all

image dynamic_image = "[path].png"

Code: Select all

$path = "folder/name"
show dynamic_image

In 6.99.7, "path" is parsed as DynamicImage("path") when [] is included by default. Otherwise, it's parsed as Image("path")

Thank you both for answers they work great. Newest version of dynamic image works better because you don't have to show image again to see change. Here code for anyone to test themselves

Code: Select all

init python:
    path = "images/logo_base.png"

label start:
    show expression path

    "1"

    $ path = "images/logo_mini.png"
    
    "2"
    
    show expression path
    
    "3"
    
    return

And

Code: Select all

init python:
    path = "images/logo_base.png"

image dynamic_image = "[path]"

label start:
    show dynamic_image

    "1"

    $ path = "images/logo_mini.png"
    
    "2"
    
    return
