Customizable Sprite with Blinking? [SOLVED]

[ArizaLuca]

I do have it as numbers; but why "s_skin" or "s_hair"? The variable that I'm using is just labeled 'skin' and 'hair', and 'eyes'.

Also, I edited it to fit that, and this now popped up:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 119, in script
    with dissolve
Exception: In DynamicImage u'player/player_skin_[s_skin].png': Could not find substitution 's_skin'.

the demo you sent me, I'm looking at the .png files right now and they are as follows: doll_hair_black.png, doll_hair_blonde.png, doll_hair_brown.png. you need to rename these to doll_hair_1.png, doll_hair_2.png and then have the program find "images/doll/doll_hair_[hair].png" it needs to be 100% accurate or it won't work. in your dressup scene, you're currently displaying "doll" which I copy and pasted the livecomposite into and fixed and it works fine. I did it for "player" as well but since you're only displaying doll, I edited that one and looked at the files for "doll"

I looked at a bad example for the s_variable. just put [variable]. I only really do complex visuals with pure python so this is awkward for me to work with haha

[ArizaLuca]

Oh– I forgot to rename the files in the example folder, rip. xD The ones in my actual game have been renamed.

The doll isn't what I'm having trouble with; I'm actively trying to fix the player sprite that displays AFTER the doll dressup game, since that sprite is based off the doll.

Ah, okay xD

[namastaii]

You can use the same exact displayable...why wouldn't you?

[ArizaLuca]

Because of story things. The doll is the character that is dressed up but the player is a separate character that happens to look like the doll. It's kind of complicated lol

Can you try to send back the (edited?) code of the example game so I can take a look maybe? Thank you

[namastaii]

Oh if they look different, that makes sense. haha

I had to delete a bunch of stuff (because i don't have the variable definitions for pbrow etc so it's kinda ..messed up but I got the doll to work. If you need the player to be the same it should work just the same. Basically just make sure that hair_1 in the doll folder is the same color or whatever as hair_1 in the player folder. You won't need anything extra, just place the file names and variables the same way except on the doll displayable it's going to be "images/doll/doll_hair_[hair].png" and on the player displayable, it'll be "images/player/player_hair[hair].png" just have them share the exact same variable and there shouldn't be an issue. just look over it slowly and neaten it up and don't move too quickly through it and you should be able to catch any typos etc

[ArizaLuca]

Oh! Okay, it kind of works... well, the image displays and then this comes up:

The image IS defined as 'player', so I don't know why the side's misbehaving... I think the only issue is that the side image is not treating it as an image, for some reason.

[namastaii]

take quotations away from "player' and try that.

also with livecomposites, you might have to do something like show_side_image=DynamicDisplayable(player)

[ArizaLuca]

The side image doesn't seem to work with Layered Parallax so I've decided to just give up on it; but the new customized sprite works great! Thank you!
