Re: (solved) Using Daz3d - does Renpy skip scenes with no dialogue or Screens?

I figured it out.

Code: Select all


label start:

	scene scene1image1
	e "Hello"
	
	scene scene1image2
	pause

	scene scene1image3
	pause

	scene scene1image4
	pause

	scene scene1image5
	f "Oh hi. I didn't see you."
	
return

Re: Coming up with good story/plot

Start with the end and work backwards. How the conflict resolves itself at the end is the most important part of any work. Then you can write the beginning that foreshadows the end. Everything in between is foreshadowing, filler and red herrings. 1. What is the central conflict? example: Should Rick...

Re: (solved) Can't get volume control to work.

Thank you! The volume command worked with the music channel.

It makes for a great transition going from inside to outside.

(solved) Which is better - imagebutton or hotspot for "smartphone screen" icons?

For replicating the ui on a smartphone, with just links to other screens for characters you've met, gallery, etc etc etc, for the icons on the phone, would it be better to use imagebuttons or hotspots?
