Hello! I am using a system where whenever a character ends speaking, his avatar is placed in a stack above the textbox. Unfortunately, I have encountered some weird behavior. If I, as the player, make choice, then everything is fine and other avatars are being shown above the textbox even if I hover...

Okay, I have figured it out. Indeed, I did not have to use side images for this, and I did not even have to use "show" for this. If anyone is going to be looking for a solution, here's mine: (and a bonus question at the end) - script.rpy: default interlocutors = [] # we start with an empty list whic...

You probably want a character callback.

I probably do, but I've been reading for hours and unfortunately have not found a way to achieve this.

Hello. I have looked through dozens of forum posts with similar discussions, but after trying all of them, nothing seems to work for my particular case. I have recently begun working on the visual side of my game and, despite thinking that it would be easy enough, have hit a roadblock that I can't o...

Hi! I've been trying to make a tutorial for my game, wherein as everything is explained it is also highlighted with a contour, or the whole of the screen is made into grayscale except for the part of the screen in question (say, as a colored square while everything else is gray). I assume Renpy does...

Alternatively, you can just do this, short but a neat trick, passing variables around atl makes them dynamic on each interaction restart. transform animation_update(var): # make an argument where we can receive the variable. alpha 0.0 easein 0.25 alpha 1.0 default var = 1 screen something(): vbox: ...

Am I right that you want the transform to happen only when the variable svar is changed? And not when you click on other elements that can result in 'update' event of the screen? One option to do it is to use another variable to track if svar is changed. You can modify your screen test like this: s...

'On update' is triggered every time the screen is updated. It is not directly related to the variable svar or the screen 'test' itself. HUD screen can also trigger 'on update' for screen 'test' . I am not quite sure why it is triggered when you hover over elements of HUD screen. I believe you have ...

Why is it triggered whenever I hover over UI elements in HUD screen then...? Do you mean on hover and on idle statements in transform? On update is triggered for direct children and each of them updated its content/children without passing on update to each individual element. On hover and on idle ...

However, the transform will not be triggered in this case:

Why is it triggered whenever I hover over UI elements in HUD screen then...?

I don't know what you did. But my code works exactly well iirc. I even tried it before, so maybe you're missing something? Perhaps an issue with the Ren'Py version you're using? Not sure. You're right, it works! I was trying to test it like this: screen test(): vbox: textbutton "increment" action S...

Still haven't found a solution

I think your issue is that you're using quotation marks. It should be Also, return can only be used when you're doing

should be a good example.

Thanks, hell_oh_world! But unfortunately it does not seem to do anything. I've tried different effects and none of them fires, the variable just changes as always does with no effect whatsoever. :/

Hello experts of Ren'py :) I've been wondering for a while now about the way I could make a variable on the HUD blink/transform/whatever (for a sec) after the player has a made a choice and the variable has changed? Couldn't find anything on the forums... I'm using menu arguments (to highlight varia...
