[Solved] Is there a way I can make an image change like this (ConditionSwitch)?

[nanashine]

My game is based on a messenger system.

It looks like something like this:



The big "avatar" image is shown by a screen.
And the small avatar inside the textbox is shown like this:

Code: Select all

        msg("{image=avatar} [name1]: Hi! How are you?", p=3, who=1)

The thing is that I wanted the avatar image to change according to the month. For example, if it's December, the avatar image would have a Christmas theme.

It's easy to do it with the big avatar image. Since it's a screen, I can use the if statement.

Something like:

Code: Select all

    if month in [1,2,3,4,5]:
        show image "jhon1avatar"
    
    if month in [6,7,8,9,10,11,]:
        show image "jhon2avatar"

    if month is [12]:
        show image "jhon3avatar"

But the smaller one, inside the message box code: {image=avatar}.

Is there a way I can declare this image and make it change according to the month?

Thanks.

Try to make avatar image a dynamic one - https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/displaya ... splayables

Oh, I didn't remember about that. Thank you! I'll give it a look

I did this:

Code: Select all

init:
    image avatar = ConditionSwitch(
            "month == '3'", "jhon1avatar.png",
            "month == '4'", "jhon2avatar.png",
            )

And I got this error:

Code: Select all

Exception: Switch could not choose a displayable.

I know there's something missing, but I don't know exactly what it is

If the month is not 3 or 4, what image should show? Also, check if the place where the image is located is right (better use full path if you have any doubt). And, I'm not sure, but maybe the numbers shouldn't be between quotation marks.

Code: Select all

init:
    image avatar = ConditionSwitch(
            "month == '3'", "jhon1avatar.png",
            "month == '4'", "jhon2avatar.png",
            )

Check the link - there should be "True" condition.

I did:

Code: Select all

image avatar = ConditionSwitch (    
    "month == '3'","jhon1avatar.png",
    "month == '4'","jhon2avatar.png",
    "True", "jhon1avatar.png"
    )

It didn't gave me any errors. But even though we are on "month 4", it keeps using the default one (True) "jhon1avatar.png".
All examples I find, are used as sideimages, and they change according to a poiting system. So it's different from what I'm trying to do.
Maybe the code doesn't "understand" "month" in this case? It's like there's something still missing.

EDIT:
I removed the quotation marks and it is working now. These were the two problems: I had to remove the quotation and add "True".

Thank you so much guys!

Code: Select all

image avatar = ConditionSwitch (    
    "month == 3","jhon1avatar.png",
    "month == 4","jhon2avatar.png",
    "True", "jhon1avatar.png"
    )
