How to define an Image using a VARIABLE

[badani]

I've got eight colour strips (strip0 through strip7) whose filenames are defined in the corresponding variables (e.g.: strip0 = "thiscolour.png") whih may contain different colours according to what the user selects meaning each of the eight strips may have a DIFFERENT colour each time the game runs.
Is there a way to define my images using the Variable Name…?
I've already tried:

image c0 = strip0

image c0 = [strip0]

image c0 = [strip0!t]

none of which works (and, as the colour will be variable I can not use image c0 = "thiscolour.png"). Please help!

Thanks in advance…!

I don't know what you trying to achieve, but this might help you

Code: Select all

image strip0 = "thiscolour_0.png"
image strip1 = "thiscolour_1.png"
image strip2 = "thiscolour_2.png"

screen color_scr(x):
    add x 
    
label start:
    "?"
    $ color_to_show = renpy.random.choice(("strip0", "strip1", "strip2"))
    scene expression color_to_show
    "!"
    scene black
    "..."
    show screen color_scr(x=color_to_show)
    "?!"

I certainly would use a dynamic displayable (already linked by Alex)

Thanks a lot! I'm afraid I'm still quite green in Ren'Py and Python... but I'm interested in learning and you've really helped!
