Choice Overlay Not Appearing at Correct Time?

[vwxyang0707]

Hi there.
So I have this photo I would like to show up as the choice overlay photo during choice screens.

It used to work perfectly fine in the past, but now it'll pop up AFTER a choice is made, for about a split second. Is there any way for me to resolve this?

The choice overlay code in my screens.rpy looks like this:

Code: Select all

transform fade_overlay(start, end, duration):
    alpha start
    linear duration alpha end

image choice_overlay = "Closeup.png"
define config.layers = [ "master", "transient", "say", "choice_overlay", "screens", "overlay" ]
define config.say_layer = "say"


screen choice(items):
    style_prefix "choice"

    # Show overlay in choice menu.
    on "show" action Function(renpy.show, "choice_overlay", at_list=[fade_overlay(0, 1, 0.5)], layer="choice_overlay")
    on "hide" action Function(renpy.show, "choice_overlay", at_list=[fade_overlay(1, 0, 0.5)], layer="choice_overlay")

Also, would it be possible to have two choice overlay screens?
For example, I would like that photo to be the choice overlay in one scenario, but have a different character as the choice overlay in another scenario.
Thank you in advance!
(For anyone who recognizes it, yes, I am trying to make a Persona 5 fangame )

I've also realized that the choice overlay photo seems to be working perfectly fine ONLY when a single choice is available to the player. If there are two or more or options to choose from, I experience the problem from up above.
