Changing images with outfits and gender
Posted: Sat Nov 18, 2017 1:09 pm
I am trying to set up a system where not only does the character image shown change with gender selection, but with outfit worn. I didn't want to go into the complexities of composite images, since this isn't a dress-up game, just a bit of customization I want.
However, my image sets are static, and only go off default values no matter how much they are changed. Even when I put in choice threads, as I've seen suggested in other questions, it only goes to the default, not to the current setting. So:
Always shows pov_0_0_comms.png no matter how the values change.
Shows pov_0_0_comms.png, the default. But
Also shows pov_0_0_comms.png. I have checked the variables, and those are changing.
Ideally I'd want a more efficient way of doing this too, so I don't have to create massive choice loops for everything. I should be able to set up something like:
But all my efforts to do so have just returned the defaults. Tips on how to do this better would be appreciated.

show pov commsCode: Select all
$ gender = 1
$ outfit = 1
