Re: Yes/No Promt glitch?

Re: Using variables to alter character sprite?

Thank you both! :D I'll work with ConditionSwitch tonight when I get home from work. And I'll play around with the renpy.show/action code too, because there are never too many workarounds. I appreciate the step-by-step, Ayutac!

Character Customization Advice - imagemap or imagebuttons?

I am attempting to code a "simple" character customization screen. I have a white base sprite that I plan to color using im.Recolor based on the Player's choice of color, which will be stored in a persistent variable and used to color the sprite variations throughout the game. My problem? ...
