heart pop up doesn't show up?

[KouhaiChan]

Hey guys, quick question. I am a total beginner coder but I wanted to ask why the heart pop up does not show? I am using chungy's code, here is the link to the cookbook I followed viewtopic.php?f=51&t=52085 and did everything. I have the redheart.png in the images folder and everything shows except the heart. I'm pretty sure its a simple error since the game still plays but there is no heart pop up. Here is my code:

Code: Select all

define v = Character('Vedma', color='#900c3f', what_prefix='"', what_suffix='"')
define m = Character('Mennik', color='#35c4ae', what_prefix='"', what_suffix='"')
define h = Character(' ', color='#be874d', what_prefix='"', what_suffix='"')
define c = Character('?', color='#242e8b', what_prefix='"', what_suffix='"')

#transforms
transform heart:
    xpos 620
    ypos 780
    pause .15
    yoffset 0
    easein .175 yoffset 20
    easein .175 yoffset -20

#Her Sprites

#Mennik Sprites

#Vedma Sprites
image vsmile = "w1.png"
image vunhappy = "w2.png"
image vsly = "w3.png"
image vtalk = "w4.png"
image vhm = "w5.png"
image vgrin = "w6.png"

#Background
image b1 = "b1.jpg"
image b2 = "b2.jpg"

#Music                  
#define audio.main = "filename.ogg"

#Objects
image redheart = "redheart.png"
                  
label start:


    scene bg room


    v "I am in the center."
    show vsmile at center
    show redheart onlayer heartsposition at heart with Dissolve(.5)
    hide redheart onlayer heartsposition with Dissolve(1)
    v "But now..."
    hide vsmile with dissolve
    show vunhappy flip at right with dissolve
    v "I'm all the way here."
    v "Well then..."
    hide vunhappy with dissolve
    "Vedma has left."


    return

Thanks to anyone that can help me!

Have you defined the layer "heartposition" somewhere ? (because that's where you ask the heart to appear...)

According to the topic you mentioned, you shoud have thie line somewhere (options.rpy for example)

1.) Paste this into your options.rpy (I pasted it at the top);

Code: Select all

define config.layers = [ 'master', 'transient', 'screens', 'heartsposition', 'overlay' ]

This helps prevent the heart from getting caught behind the textbox!

Yeah i did do that in the options rpy. The heart pop up still does not show up for some reason

Are your other images in the images folder too ?
What happens if
1) you suppress the line

Code: Select all

image redheart = "redheart.png"

(if your image is in the images folder, the image definition should be automatic)

2) you change that line with

Code: Select all

image redheart = "images/redheart.png"

(I'm not sur Renpy is looking for your image in the right place)

I'm surprised there is no error message or dummy image though.

Is it because you hide the image immediately after you show it?
Try giving a pause just before the hide command, only to see if the image appears.

it's not in any folders, I am really puzzled why there is no error message too. I'll keep trying to find a solution, thanks!

That sounds plausible, I'll try that. Thanks!
