bar customization

[OrsonDeWitt]

Hello there!
Was just wondering if it was possible to make a bar fill in not with one color, but basically color the image with its original colors. Say, if the left image was black-and-white, and the right image was colored; how would you go about making it so that as the bar gets updated with higher values, the image is colored accordingly?

Did you want that bar to dynamically change colour as the value changed?

You could set the left/right_bar displayable to be a dynamic displayable that returned a Solid or somesuch that changed colour based on the variable.

Not fully sure what you want though... A bar naturally shows X% of the left_bar image, 100-X% of the right_bar image with optional thumb etc... Those can be coloured as you want.

If these images are already saved in those colors, you'd assign the left bar to the right image and the right bar to the right image and it should do exactly what you described. https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/style_pr ... properties
You could probably benefit from reading about styles as well if you haven't already

Here is someone's tutorial on bar customization viewtopic.php?t=27332 (I don't believe they're using styles, but you'll see the general way to do things with bars)

Oh, wow. I didn't expect for it to work like this right off the bat. Renpy rules.
Thanks.
