Re: Random Pause Duration (Renpy randint not working)

Cool, that totally worked... How would one put that into a variable?
I like to put stuff like that into variables, since I'll be making a bunch of animated side-images. :)

Random Pause Duration (Renpy randint not working)

Gentlemen, I'm trying to animate my side images, but have a random pause duration between cycles. What I've tried is to tell the last image in the list to pause for a random period between 2, and 7 seconds using the renpy random interger thingy. I employed it two ways with the same result. One by ad...

Manually define character's gender for proper place holder?

Hey, gang. Is there something I can put in the character definition block to specify its gender? Reason being... I code stuff out way before I have graphics to fill in the displayables, and it would be really handy if I saw the 'boy' sprite for male characters. Heck, it would be handy if I could jus...

Re: Traceback Error after changing labels

Boom!
I had no idea that renpy scanned the rpyc files as well.
I thought those were just for backup.

Traceback Error after changing labels

All I did was rename a file that I created, and changed the name of one label in that file, and added a new label in the same file. Poof! It says "duplicate labels" in there somewhere, but I checked, and there are none in my files. help? I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. After...

Screen overlays that remain in place during transitions.

It's that time again... Time to ask for the help of my highly skilled upperclassmen... and women. I have an overlay that makes it look like the player is looking through binoculars. I want it to be over all of the displayables, but not the dialogue, side images, etc. I want it to stay perfectly fixe...

Animations need to complete, and transition end-to-end.

Ok, I have two sprite animations that need to be end to end no matter when I click. In other words, when I click to advance the scene during the first animation, I need that animation to finish, then have the next one follow in directly behind it, play once all the way through, then return to the pr...

Re: Stats screen issues.

That did the trick.
Thanks!

I was being too specific when I searched for this in the documentation. I should have just read the Screen Language section. It's fairly plain there.

Stats screen issues.

Ok, gang... I used the old documentation (I'm sorry) to add a stats screen that appears when a button is clicked, nothing fancy, just like the documentation says here... https://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/cookbook/Information_Screen I tried it... didn't work. No button or texty thing of any kind a...

Re: Random image tag for character attire

'Nother update!!! I figured it out. After a massive hint from a certain forum member, who shall remain nameless so's that he or she doesn't get bombarded with PMs from other noobs like me, I devised a simple solution. Having been steered away from image tags, I read up on ConditionSwith(), stuffed o...

Re: Transitions with multiple sprites

Divona. You're my hero for today. Well, so is gas, but for this thread, you're the one! For some reason, you hold all the magicks that always solve my many problems. Apparently, having the 'with' statement on the next line was the difference. That's the only change I made and poof (!!) it all worked...

Re: Side-scroller minigame engine???

It's not so much a matter of being stuck, it's more me asking if a sidescroller minigame already exists in RenPy, like in the cookbook somewhere. (nothing in the cookbook, I checked.) The Pygame one I found was merely to see if it would steer me in the right direction, but the code is totally differ...
