Yeah, when I saw this, it seemed odd that this would work properly. I already told you that I'm pretty sure you have to write out DynamicDisplayable by long hand. Pardon my ignorance, but what would that look like? Can I nest the Composite Inside it? Or do I convert the entire LiveComposite to a Dy...

Alright… I've run into an interesting issue now - it looks like everything is working great, but the images don't seem to be updating when I vary the variable in the game (they do change if I hard code the variable at the start, so I know the code there is solid). I'm thinking the LiveComposite does...

When you have multiple %s in your code line, you need to specify a list of variables in appropriate order to fill them in, like "text_%s_%d_%s"%(string_var, data_var, another_string_var) Ahh! Excellent - I was placing the ( on the left of the % when I tried using that. … You wouldn't happ...

So, I was almost completely set with my variables in my project when I ran across this use case: image template_1_doll = LiveComposite( (1024,768), (0,0), "images/characters/template_1/hair/style_1/back_hair_[char_list[%s].hair].png"%curr_char, ####### This works great! (0,0), "images...

And this would be how to do a character (I'm using live composites in my game):
That code will pull the image defined as "character_0_doll".

…

Hope this helps someone else down the line!

Heads up to anyone using this thread as a reference… you can use multiple variables in the same statement as follows: $ narrator ("{0} is a {1} character who is {2} years old." .format(char_list[curr_char].full, char_list[curr_char].height, char_list[curr_char].age)) To get this output: &q...

Do you use LiveComposite and ConditionSwitch in a different way? Do other practices exist? Since Renpy 6.99.7 you can use dynamic images to accomplish some of this. eg. Your first "draw_eileen" method could be replaced by: image eileen = LiveComposite( (200, 300), (0,0), "base.png&qu...

It's the same as using if/else anywhere else...? init python: class CharInfo(object): def __init__(self, first, last, alive=True): self.first = first self.last = last self.full = first + " " + last self.alive = alive if self.first == "Bob": self.age = renpy.random.choice(range(2...

Oh, I also remembered I still need a way to be able to make the current character variable, so I can have generic screens for things such as this:

...why are you back to using variables rather than classes again? Randomizing the names is just a matter of building the choices into the initialization of the object. Philat - you're awesome! This code was very clean and easy to read, I really appreciate it. Just a few last questions and I think I...

Alright, I found a way to get what I want to happen mostly: label curr_char_update: $ curr_char_firstname = char_1_first_name $ curr_char_lastname = char_1_last_name $ curr_char_alive = char_1_alive return So that sets the variables I want for the scene I'm using and it works quite well - and then, ...

Good advice regarding creating a new project but sometimes I get confused about how to even implement the code. The second thread was perfect. The code is simple and I clearly understand what each part does which helped me create what I wanted. I really appreciate your help and patience! I'm not re...

Did some more digging, here is a bar using the built in methods that may be a bit easier for you to modify.

I think the main title screen would be the least obtrusive. You'd hit it overtime you launched the game once, and as you're playing you'd almost never see it. *shrug*

I found it via a quick search, but it's also located in the cookbook directory thread . You can probably replicate the feature using solid colors and boxes, but I would imagine just whipping up very basic graphics would still be easier. You'd want to place the bar on it's own screen and then call an...
