(Solved) Click to Continue Icon Not Appearing for Narrator

[Katy133]

I'm trying to add an animated "click to continue" icon (ctc) for the narrator of a visual novel, but the icon is only showing up for the other characters. How can I get the ctc to show up for the narrator?

I'm following this tutorial, and am using this script:

Code: Select all

init:
    ## Click to continue animation
    image ctc = Animation("gui/cont_1.png", 0.2, "gui/cont_2_4.png", 0.2, "gui/cont_3.png", 0.2, "gui/cont_2_4.png", 0.2, xpos=0.5, ypos=695)
    ########

## Declare characters used by this game. The color argument colorizes the name
## of the character.
define narrator = Character(' ', color="#302c46", ctc="ctc", ctc_position="fixed")
define e = Character('Eileen', color="#302c46", ctc="ctc", ctc_position="fixed")

I'm using Ren'Py version 6.99.12

I'm tracking this as #1218.

Upon more experimenting, I discovered that the ctc does appear if I change the line to this:

Code: Select all

define narrator = Character(color="#302c46", ctc="ctc", ctc_position="fixed")

For some reason, removing the (empty) name tag makes the ctc appear.

I've been unable to reproduce this bug in the current nightly build codebase, using the new GUI. Do you have a replication I could try?

I've tried reproducing the same bug using the same script, but I'm also unable to. I've updated Ren'Py since posting the original post, so the update may have solved the issue.
