imagemap, True and if statment not obeying properly [solved]

[M.T.D.G.]

Hi, dear colleagues!
I'd like the players to be able to choose a skin color at the beginning of the game through an imagemap, thus showing a different CG depending on what they picked.
The problem is that, no matter what I pick, I always end up with the last skin color I coded (which is black).
Here's my code:

The imagemap before the start label:

Code: Select all

screen skin:
    imagemap:
        ground "skin 1.png"
        hover "skin 2.png"
        
        hotspot (28, 136, 293, 259) action Return (white)
        hotspot (372, 136, 293, 259) action Return (caramel)
        hotspot (708, 136, 293, 259) action Return (black)

After the start label:

Code: Select all

label start:
    $ white = False
    $ caramel = False
    $ black = False
    
    $ renpy.transition(dissolve)
    call screen skin
    $ result = _return
    
    if result == "white": 
        $ white = True
    elif result == "caramel":
        $ caramel = True
    else:
        $ black = True

The moment the proper illustration should appear instead of giving me the black option everytime:

Code: Select all

if white == True:
        show cg1
        with dissolve
        character "..."
    
    elif caramel == True:
        show cg2
        with dissolve
        character "..."
    
    else:
        show cg3
        with dissolve
        character "..."

I hope somebody can help me. I'm no coder and I'm totally lost when issues like this happen

You're asking it for strings but return the values in your variables:

Code: Select all

        hotspot (28, 136, 293, 259) action Return ("white")
        hotspot (372, 136, 293, 259) action Return ("caramel")
        hotspot (708, 136, 293, 259) action Return ("black")

That worked wonderfully!!! My huge thanks!!!!!!
