How to show the correct image in a screen?[Solved]

[facadepapergirl]

I'm trying to do a sort of "character viewer" in my game, where one can see a picture based on their race/gender/whatever. For now, I only have an average female of each race, but for some reason, I can only get the boisin image, no matter the race flag. Below, is my code:

Code: Select all

screen stats_screen:
    hbox:
        frame:
            has vbox
            text "Level: [level]"
            text "Experience Points: [exp]"
            text "HP: [hp]"
            text "Intelligence: [smarts]"
            text "Power: [pwr]"
            text "Charisma: [cha]"
            text "Dexterity: [cha]"
            text "Toughness: [tou]"
            text "Hour: [hour]"
            text "[rlook]"
        frame:
            has vbox
            if boisin_race = True:
                image "Boisin_f.png"
            elif human_race = True:
                image "Human_f.png"
            elif winseen_race = True:
                image "Winseen_f.png"
            elif zinraf_race = True:
                image "Zinraf_f_front.png"
            
        
            textbutton "Return" action Return()

Since screen language is apparently different, I'm at a loss as to how I can fix this. Help?

One thing I notice immediately in the following section of code:

Code: Select all

            if boisin_race = True:
                image "Boisin_f.png"
            elif human_race = True:
                image "Human_f.png"
            elif winseen_race = True:
                image "Winseen_f.png"
            elif zinraf_race = True:
                image "Zinraf_f_front.png"

Your conditionals are checking for equality with a single equal sign. They would need to have a double equal sign '=='. However, if you are only going to be assigning True and False values to those variables, then you can simply shorten the statement to:

Code: Select all

    if boisin_race:  #this is basically the same as saying 'if boisin_race == True:'

I guess you can use 'image' in screen statements? Personally, I use the 'add' statement. So, I would write the code like this for myself with the changes made:

Code: Select all

            if boisin_race:
                add "Boisin_f.png"
            elif human_race:
                add "Human_f.png"
            elif winseen_race:
                add "Winseen_f.png"
            elif zinraf_race:
                add "Zinraf_f_front.png"

If you are going to have a lot of potential portraits, then you may want to look at using an image with a condition switch.

Any of the options you gave me removes the image entirely. I tried using add, then I tried image again, I tried adding two equal signs, and they all show, instead of a picture and return button in that frame, simply the return button. And I need to read more about the condition switch before I will try it; there isn't much in the documentation.

jw2pfd last code example is the/a correct way to do this.
Screenshots would help, as well as the dimensions of the pictures and screen.
Another problem might be that no variable is set to true, then nothing would be displayed of course.

Below, I have the stats screen for a female zinraf, and the variable viewer. The image shown is of a boisin, not a zinraf. The Boisin picture is 290x500, and the Zinraf picture is 277x500. In pixels, I believe. This is with the original code. I've put a spoiler as it contains a nude image and some of the flag names are not suitable for public view.

This is with the two equal signs, the simple if whatever_race, and both with add instead of image:

Any examples on how I might try out the condition switch? I do not understand it completely, and the documentation says for two things, but I have five races (the fifth image is not ready, so I have not added it.)

*EDIT* Nevermind, these aren't the spoiler tags I'm used to.

The code in the first post checks for the variable zinraf_race, the variable in the viewer is called zinref_race. Did you change the name or is this the problem?

[facadepapergirl]

That is the problem. How very embarrassing. Thank you both very much for your assistance.
