Changing Character Side Image

[Catboo12]

So, I've decided that I want my main character's side image to change depending on her emotions. So, I copied the code that was provided on the Ren'py official site and changed it to fit my character. This is now my code:

Code: Select all

define MC = Character('player_name', window_left_padding=160,
          show_side_image=ConditionSwitch(
          "express == 'what'", "Char_What.png",
          "express == 'happy'", "Char_Happy.png",
          "express == 'sad'", "Char_Sad.png",
          "express == 'normal'", "player.png",
        ), color='#ECCEF5', what_color='#ECCEF5')

image side Char_Happy = "Char_Happy.png"
image side Char_Sad = "Char_Sad.png"
image side player = "player.png"
image side Char_What = "Char_What.png"

However, when I run the game, I get this error message:

File "game/script.rpy", line 66, in script
MC "%(player_name)s."
Exception: Unknown keyword arguments: side_image

Can someone help me fix this? I've tried fiddling around with it but I can't fix it. (line 66 is just a line of dialogue the character says)

show_side_image never worked for me. I usually use image='player' and defining side image later. Notice that image statement takes any displayable and you can even stuff ConditionSwitch in it:

Code: Select all

image side player = ConditionSwitch(
    "express == 'what'", "Char_What.png",
    "express == 'happy'", "Char_Happy.png",
    "express == 'sad'", "Char_Sad.png",
    "express == 'normal'", "player.png",
)
