        xalign .7
        yalign .5

                textbutton _("hairstyle1") action [ SetVariable("hairstyle1","hair1.png")]
                textbutton _("hairstyle2") action [ SetVariable("hairstyle2", "hair2.png")]

            (0, 0), "base.png",
            (0, 0), "hair%d.png"%hair,
            ),.1

It looks like code in character_script should do the trick (choose hairstyle and press Ok to see changes).
Not quite understand why do you have two versions of character_customization_screen...
Also, try to set hair variable not in init block but using default statement.

no no that's not what im trying to do the character customization works fine i have 6 different versions of the same background image what i want is for let's say the user selects hairstyle 1 i want version 1 of the background image to show during a scene of the game which is about 5 minutes into the game

Well, then try to make your bg image to be the dynamic one (the same as character image) based on value of "hair" variable.

so like a conditionswitch?

Code: Select all

 image example = ConditionSwitch(
                   "hairstyle1", "background1.png",
                   "hairstyle2", "background2.png",
                   "hairstyle3", "background3.png",
                   "hairstyle4", "background4.png",
                   "hairstyle5", "background5.png",
                   "hairstyle6", "background6.png")

do you think something like this would work?

[Alex]

It definitely should work (if you'll code it correct)...))
Choose the right variable (I assum it would be hair) and check this examples:
