[SOLVED] Side Image problem

[Kumiii]

Hello!

I've recently updated my RenPy and I noticed some codes do not work anymore. I'm a beginner in coding, so I am not sure of how to solve my problem. I've been hunting for some solutions and even cookbook, but I cannot really solve my problem due to lack of visualization.

Here is my code :

Code: Select all

define a = DynamicCharacter('player_name',
                            show_side_image=Image("adam/adam.png", xalign=0.0, yalign=1.0))

It gives me this error :

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 40, in script
    a "My name is [player_name], and I am 12 years old."
Exception: Unknown keyword arguments: side_image

How exactly should I code my side image and what do I need to change?

your method looks a bit different from the one in the documentation. I can't test it right now, so sorry if it's outdated or you've already tried it.

I didn't test this, but try

Code: Select all

define a = DynamicCharacter('player_name',
                            image="adam_side")
image side adam_side = Image("adam/adam.png", xalign=0.0, yalign=1.0)

Sorry, I tried both methods, while the game works without errors, the side image is still not appearing.

Is there any other methods I can use, or anything I need to change in screens.rpy or options.rpy?

[wyverngem]

Sorry forgot this important bit of code. For some reason it doesn't work without the config.side_image_change_transform

Code: Select all

image side Sophia_side = Image("images/sophia.png", yalign=1.0, xalign=0.0)
define s = Character("Sophia", image="Sophia_side")

define config.side_image_change_transform = change_transform

transform change_transform(old, new):
    contains:
        old
        alpha 1.0
        linear 0.3 alpha 0.0
    contains:
        new
        alpha 0.0
        linear 0.3 alpha 1.0

For some reason the new version of RenPy kept insisting me to define change_transform, but after some alteration I got the code to work!

Thank you very much!
