Character side image help!

[Catboo12]

So, I've watched tutorials and read other posts but I still can't work this out! I'm trying to put an image of my character on the left side of the text bar but I can't do it, no matter the code I use! The code I have so far for my character is:

Code: Select all

define MC = DynamicCharacter('player_name', window_left_padding=160, show_side_image=Image("Test.png", xalign=0, yalign=1.0), color='#ECCEF5', what_color='#ECCEF5')

when I start the game to test if it works the following message pops up:

While running game code:
File "game/script.rpy", line 56, in script
MC "%(player_name)s."
Exception: Unknown keyword arguments: side_image

I don't understand how to get it to work... Please can someone help?

Note that side images are reworked in latest version of RenPy, so you need to make sure that you are using latest documentation. (And IIRC DynamicCharacter is deprecated: it does not even shows in latest documentation index)

In your particular case your character can be wtiten as as:

Code: Select all

define MC = Character('player_name', window_left_padding=160, dynamic=True, image='player' , color='#ECCEF5', what_color='#ECCEF5')

image side player = "Test.png" xalign 0.0 yalign 1.0
image side player angry = "Test1.png" xalign 0.0 yalign 1.0
# . . .
MC 'Hi' # Shows Test.png
MC angry 'I said, HI!' # shows Test1.png
