Showing multiple images for one condition live composite

[namastaii]

Sorry I currently have no internet at my house for the time being so I am on my phone.. But still working on my game. When I was a lot newer to Ren'Py I had a lot of tedious code set up because I didn't know of more ways to set things up. I didn't know about ConditionSwitch for live composite and such so I had a bunch of if statements and a bunch of versions of a live composite with slight changes lol. What I am doing now is condensing those. I can use condition switch for one outcome per condition. But not multiple. (showing multiple images of one condition is true) how do I go about this? I tried using an if statement inside but it also won't seem to let me do more than one outcome per condition. What would the proper syntax for this be or can you do it at all? I hope this makes sense. I can't share my code on my phone..

Have you tried nesting some ConditionSwitch() inside a LiveComposite()?

[namastaii]

Yes that's what I mean. It works but I can't make one condition have multiple outcomes. It only Does The first outcome

[namastaii]

For instance I want three images to only show (outfit pieces) if a variable is true. It only reads the first image listed and then the character is basically half naked

[xavimat]

Can you show your code?
Is it something like this?:

Code: Select all

image test = LiveComposite(
    (300, 600),
    (0, 0), ConditionSwitch(
        "var == 1", "top1.png",
        "var == 2", "top2.png",
        "True", "top3.png"),
    (0, 0), ConditionSwitch(
        "var == 1", "middle1.png",
        "var == 2", "middle2.png",
        "True", "middle3.png"),
    (0, 0), ConditionSwitch(
        "bott_var == 1", "bottom1.png",
        "bott_var == 2", "bottom2.png",
        "True", "bottom3.png")
    )

I can't post code I'm on my phone and yes it looks like that. I need it to be "var == True", "mypic1.png", "mypic2.png", "mypic3.png"

I need three images to show from one variable. It doesn't work if I put them in one line like above and if I do
"var == True", "mypic1.png",
"var == True", "mypic2.png"

That doesn't work either. It only reads the first one. Understand?

[xavimat]

I think I understand.
I've tested my code and it works, but only one image of every ConditionSwitch will show, and these images are nested in the LiveComposite.
In my example, if you set "var=True" you will see "top1.png" and "middle1.png". The two of them nested inside the LiveComposite.

Another way is to nest several LiveComposite inside one ConditionSwitch, maybe this makes more sense to your needs:

Code: Select all

image test2 = ConditionSwitch(
    "var", LiveComposite(
        (200,100),
        (0, 0), "mypic1.png",
        (50, 0), "mypic2.png",
        (100, 0), "mypic3.png"),
    "True", LiveComposite(
        (200,100),
        (0, 0), "mypic4.png",
        (50, 0), "mypic5.png",
        (100, 0), "mypic6.png")
    )

In this example, when var=True you'll see mypic1, 2 and 3. If it's False, you'll see mypic4, 5, 6.

[namastaii]

The last example might work. I will try that out

[namastaii]

Well this is actually what I had in the beginning lol I guess there isn't a simpler solution

[xavimat]

Well, the thing is, if you want to present different images together, the simplest way is to combine them in a single image with GIMP, Photoshop or similar. I presume that you have the images separated because, in some place, you are going to use them separately, if not, put them together and the code will be simpler.

[namastaii]

They are separate because they are pieces to the player's character that change. I can't put them together as an image. They all change often

I think Xavimat's first solution would do what you want:

Code: Select all

image test = LiveComposite(
    (300, 600),
    (0, 0), ConditionSwitch(    #This would display the bottom-most layer, let's say this is the shoes.
        "var == 1", "bottom1.png",
        "var == 2", "bottom2.png",
        "True", "bottom3.png")
    (0, 0), ConditionSwitch(    #This would display a middle later, let's say the pants
        "var == 1", "middle1.png",
        "var == 2", "middle2.png",
        "True", "middle3.png"),
    (0, 0), ConditionSwitch(    #This would display a top layer, let's say the shirt
        "var == 1", "top1.png",
        "var == 2", "top2.png",
        "True", "top3.png"),
    )

In that example, if Var was 1, then it would show the "#1" images for all three layers at once. If Var was 2, then the second set of images would all display. The way Condition Switches work is that it goes down the list from top to bottom, and the first time it hits something that is "true," it takes that result and then quits to the next thing.

I think Xavimat's first solution would do what you want:

Yeap, it was the correct answer

I think namastaii asked if this was possible:

Code: Select all

image test = LiveComposite(
    (300, 600),
    (0, 0), ConditionSwitch(    #This would display the bottom-most layer, let's say this is the shoes.
        "var == 1", "bottom1.png",
        "var == 2", "bottom2.png",
        "var == 3", "bottom3.png",
        "var == 1", "middle1.png",
        "var == 2", "middle2.png",
        "var == 3", "middle3.png",
        "var == 1", "top1.png",
        "var == 2", "top2.png",
        "var == 3", "top3.png")
    )

aka to have the switch walking through all the conditions and display all matches. There is no native way to do this in Ren'Py but you can write your own class/function/screen that does this in under 5 mins. Ren'Py offers simple and generic tools that get stuff done, solutions tailored to your preferences you have to add yourself.
