Bug's with Image Location Picker

#1 Post by Catyih1997 »

Hi there! I'm having issues with Ren'py's Image Location Picker. I'll click on the already made tutorial, click shift D, and use the image location picker with absolutely no problems whatsoever, but when I go to my own personal game project, I click launch project, then shift D, I'll go to the image location picker and the image will show up just fine but when I left click the image to get coordinates, this appears:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
Exception: Character expects its what argument to be a string, got 638.

-- Full Traceback ------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know if you're going to get answers (because you posted this in the wrong thread. So I don't think the right people can find this post.) But if you posted in the right thread here. You should be able to get answers! Those people are seriously really nice and informative! (I don't use that feature in renpy so I don't know what's wrong. I usually use photoshop to find coordinates.)
