Animate Images

[InsanePenguin]

Hello,
Im running into an issue on renpy - i want to show to images on loop but i keep getting an error in the coding or the second image is just ignored and the game show the next part. Please advise on the code below:

scene vero-a1 animated with fade:
"vero-a2" with dissolve
pause (1)
"vero-a1" with dissolve
pause (1)
repeat

i got it to work once but when i tried to recreate the code with another set of images it would not work

If you are trying to have an animated background using two images vero-a1.png and vero-a2.png you could do this

define an animated image before the start label

Code: Select all

image bg vero:
    "vero-a2.png"   #if the image is an png
    pause 1            # seems to work equally well with just;  1
    "vero-a1.png"
    pause 1
    repeat

then show the animated background

scene bg vero

If this works add the fade and dissolve. dissolve can be slightly problematic if there is transparency attached to the images, which seams unlikely, as this apparently is a background image.

I tried to create the image before and after the label - but it still does not show up in the game, it skips to the next scene. Im using jpg - does that matter?

It sounds to me like there might not be anything in that scene that stops the flow and so the game skips to the next scene.
Try to put in a pause that holds off going to the next scene a while.

Code: Select all

    scene bg vero
    pause 10

create the image before the label. jpg:s should be fine.
