image not displaying

[SomeDude]

I have a little problem with this one scene.
For some reason, my image won't display and just stays with the previous image. It doesn't say "image not found" and this doesn't happen anywhere else, just here for some reason.

Code: Select all

	show image "intro/int_13.png"
	R "Dialogue 1"
	show image "intro/int_15.png"
	Y "Dialogue 2?"
	show image "intro/int_14.png"
	M "Question 1?"
	show image "intro/int_15.png"
	Y "(Inner thought 1)"
	Y "(Inner question 1?)"
	show image "intro/int_16.png" with hpunch
	Y "Exclamation 1!?"
	show image "intro/int_17.png"
	Y "Exclamation 2!?"

The image that doesn't display is the second "int_15" and instead just continues to display "int_14", but "int_16" displays afterwards. Again, I tried the exact same order of images before and after this scene and it works there. For whatever reason it just doesn't work here. This is in between the lines 150 - 162

try this

Code: Select all

	show image "intro/int_13.png"
	R "Dialogue 1"
	hide image "intro/int_13.png"
	show image "intro/int_15.png"
	Y "Dialogue 2?"
	hide image "intro/int_15.png"
	show image "intro/int_14.png"
	M "Question 1?"
	hide image "intro/int_14.png"
	show image "intro/int_15.png"
	Y "(Inner thought 1)"
	Y "(Inner question 1?)"
	hide image "intro/int_15.png
	show image "intro/int_16.png" with hpunch
	Y "Exclamation 1!?"
	hide image "intro/int_16.png"
	show image "intro/int_17.png"
	Y "Exclamation 2!?"
	hide image "intro/int_17.png"

I think int_15 is shown the second time as well, but behind int_14, so you do not see it.

This worked perfectly! I don't know why this only happens in this specific part of the script but thanks for the help!

Per K Grok is correct. It's also possible to use the as keyword to associate a tag with the shown images which lets renpy know it should replace them, rather than layer them, so this would also work and avoids the need to manage the hides manually, think of it as all the images belonging to a group, from which one one image can be used at a time.

In this example I'm using the tag bg but this can be any string of your choosing (so long as it's not a keyword).

Code: Select all

    show image "intro/int_13.png" as bg
    R "Dialogue 1"
    show image "intro/int_15.png" as bg
    Y "Dialogue 2?"
    show image "intro/int_14.png" as bg
    M "Question 1?"
    show image "intro/int_15.png" as bg
    Y "(Inner thought 1)"
    Y "(Inner question 1?)"
    show image "intro/int_16.png" as bg with hpunch
    Y "Exclamation 1!?"
    show image "intro/int_17.png" as bg
    Y "Exclamation 2!?"
