HELP:HIDE A MOVIE ON RENPY

[anambread_xx]

so I followed a tutorial on how to display the movie, but it would leave. it just keeps playing whilst my script in the background keeps going. how do i play it and when it finishes it leaves.

Code: Select all

# movie 
 image movie = Movie(size=(1280, 720), xpos=100, ypos=100, xanchor=100, yanchor=100)
play movie "day_2.ogv"

k "you have 28 days left"

hide movie with fade

that is my line of code for the movie if anyone can help that would be great because I searched everywhere, and it's just too complicated for me to understand

Just set loop to false.

Code: Select all

 image movie = Movie(size=(1280, 720), xpos=100, ypos=100, xanchor=100, yanchor=100, loop = False)

Another thing to look at - you started the movie with "play", but then tried to hide it with "hide". "Play" and "hide" don't really go together as a pair.

An alternate approach is to give a full definition of the movie "image" including the file name, at which point you can just "show" and "hide" the movie.

Code: Select all

image movie_day_2 = Movie(play="day_2.ogv", size=(1280, 720), xpos=100, ypos=100, xanchor=100, yanchor=100)

...

show movie_day_2

...

hide movie_day_2

Basically, if you create a complete definition of a Movie as an image, you can then do anything with it that you could do with any other image. So you could also do

Code: Select all

scene movie_day_2

dialog, dialog, dialog

scene some_other_image # movie_day_2 image will automatically be removed
