[SOLVED] Can't get Side Image to work with Condition Switch

[Lucia]

Hi,

I am having issues with getting Condition Switch to work for dynamic side images. I looked up code on various sites, including the forum, even copypasted the code but I always get the same error when I try to load the script.

First, this is my character talk code:

Code: Select all

    # Image on the side.
    $ n = Character('Mila',
          color="#680a56",
          what_color="#2f0d3a",
          window_left_padding=160,
          show_side_image=ConditionSwitch(
          "mc_exp == 'sad'", "assets/talk/mila_talk_side_sad.png",
          "mc_exp == 'happy'", "assets/talk/mila_talk_side_happy.png",
          "mc_exp == 'True'", "assets/talk/mila_talk_side_neutral.png", xalign=0.0, yalign=1.0
        )
    )

(also tried == sad", without ' ' )

Variable:

Code: Select all

label start:
#Character display states
    $ dressset = 0
    $ mc_exp = True

This is the error I am getting, I don't know what's wrong.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 167, in script
Exception: Switch could not choose a displayable.

I tried to change mc_exp to True, neutral, used numbers... to no avail. I do not know what I've done wrong.

[Crazy Li]

$ mc_exp = True

would logically not test as true for

mc_exp == 'True'

since the first is a boolean and the second is a string. I'm not sure why it's not working for neutral or numbers though, but I'd need to see the code for that as well.

It may also be wise to define "mc_exp" in an init above everything else for a default value instead of waiting until the game starts.

My gosh, thanks a lot Crazy Li! Your hint at $ mc_exp being a bolean while mc_exp == 'True' is a string helped me a lot!

I changed it to:

Code: Select all

    $ mc_exp = 'neutral'

Also, I declared the variable in the

Code: Select all

init:

section.

code for side is:

Code: Select all

    $ n = Character('Mila',
          color="#680a56",
          what_color="#2f0d3a",
          window_left_padding=220,
          show_side_image=ConditionSwitch(
          "mc_exp == 'sad'", "assets/talk/mila_talk_side_sad.png",
          "mc_exp == 'happy'", "assets/talk/mila_talk_side_happy.png",
          "mc_exp == 'neutral'", "assets/talk/mila_talk_side_neutral.png", xalign=0.0, yalign=1.0,
        )
    )

Thanks again! I wonder why it didn't worked with a number check though...

To change the side image I use:

Code: Select all

    $ mc_exp ='neutral' 

and it works.
