Permanent sprite change

[kurogane]

This is my first foray into ren'py and as I'm plotting out the story I hit a problem. At one point, one of the characters can choose to transform into one of a few forms. My problem is this: is it possible to do this in a way where after the choice I can just call the character and it calls the sprites for the right form automatically? I'm guessing I'll need to use a switch of some sort? Sorry if this sounds confusing, I'm not the best at explaining things. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Maybe you go with https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/displaya ... tionSwitch ?

The easiest is just using DynamicImage with variable interpolation...

Code: Select all

default mc_form = "human"

image mc_sprite = "images/mc_[mc_form].png"
# initially will be 'images/mc_human.png'

label start:

    show mc_sprite
    "..."
    $ mc_form = "vampette"
    "..."
    $ mc_form = "werebabe"
    "..."

Lots easier than using switches if you get into the habit of naming images and variable values appropriately...

Would this work with expressions? Calling a happy/sad/angry version of the vampette for example.
