[Solved] Conditional side image

[Mikasa01]

Hey. I have a question regarding side images which I hope I could get some help with.

I am trying to make a side image for my main character that is placed at a different x,y pos than the regular images for the other characters.

I know it has something to do in here:

Code: Select all

    if not renpy.variant("small"):
        add SideImage() xalign 0.25 yalign 0.80

But I am not quite sure how to go about doing this. I tried:

Code: Select all

    if not renpy.variant("small"):
    	if Character() == main_character:
        	add SideImage() xalign 0.65 yalign 0.80
        else:
        	add SideImage() xalign 0.25 yalign 0.80

But it always ends up using the else statement regardless. Any clues?

This is my main character definition:

Code: Select all

define mc = Character("[main_character]",
            color = "#FFBFFF",
            image = "mc")

image side mc talk = "side_images/side_mc_talk.png"

you probably want to address the "who" but I'm not sure. I haven't messed with side images in a couple of years. But right now you're referring to the entire character function

*update* here I found this viewtopic.php?t=25136

This is probably the most straight forward solution:

Code: Select all

define e = Character('Eileen', color="#c8ffc8", image="eileen", show_side_xalign=1.0)

Hi. Thanks for replying. Unfortunately that code seems outdated and doesn't seem to be working. :/

in init:

Code: Select all

default main_character = 'J.M.'

define mc = Character('main_character', dynamic=True, 
    image='mc',
    color='#ffbfff',
    )
image side mc = 'some_picture.jpg'

in screen say():

Code: Select all

    if not renpy.variant("small"):
        if who==main_character:
            add SideImage() xalign .65 yalign .8             
        else:
            add SideImage() xalign .25 yalign .8

This works great! Thank you very much, Irina!
