[Question] Show image depend on variables

[norrissang]

I just want to show image and number of it depend of variable like this

Code: Select all

image miko1 = "miko1.png"
image miko2 = "miko2.png"
image miko3 = "miko3.png"

default point = 0

menu:
	"This is good":
		point += 1    #at this time, point = 1
		show miko1
		# if point = 2, show miko2, if 3 show miko3		

the number at the last name of image equal number of variable to show
How to do that. thank you

[hell_oh_world]

Code: Select all

label start:
  show expression "miko{}".format(point)

or...

Code: Select all

label start:
  show expression "miko[point]"

i think both would work.
You might also want to make the image dynamic instead of going through all of that process.

Code: Select all

default point = 0
image miko = "miko[point].png"

label start:
  show miko
  $ point += 1
  show miko

Hopefully I'm understanding this correctly. It sounds to me like you want to make hotspots or image buttons. Something like this?

If this is the idea then here is what I would do.
I would have two script files. (It probably can be done with 1 but I'm not sure...)

In the first where you start your game (script.rpy) you're going to want to call a screen to select Miko's image.

Code: Select all

label start:
    call screen miko_choice

In another script file, we'll call it miko.rpy, you'll define the miko image.

Code: Select all

init:
##I'm not sure if variable can be 0. On my dress up game I made 1 be the default and it has nothing shown for the image.
    default point = 0
    
image miko = Composite(
    (0, 0),
    (0, 0), "images/miko[point].png"
)

screen miko_choice():
##I'm not sure what modal does but it makes things work for me
    modal True
    
    imagemap:
        ground "images/mikochoices.png"

##You can get the hotspots by being in game and pressing Shift+D to bring up the Developer Menu. From there pick Image Location Picker and then your image that has all 3 miko's next to each other. Click and drag to make a box around each image. The hotspot will be automatically copied.
        hotspot(0, 0, 0) action SetVariable("point", 1), Jump("YourNextScene")
        hotspot(0, 0, 0) action SetVariable("point", 2), Jump("YourNextScene")
        hotspot(0, 0, 0) action SetVariable("point", 3), Jump("YourNextScene")

In theory the second action should work in that code? I'm not sure though... But hopefully you understand what I'm getting at.

Then we go back to script.rpy and put in our next label:

Code: Select all

label YourNextScene
    show miko:
        pos(0, 0)
    "This is good.")

Your image of Miko choices should have all buttons on one image like in the picture I posted at the beginning of the post. What we are doing is defining the area that we want to be a button with hotspot. The coordinates are the button area. And we tell it that we want to change the variable when we click on the image and then Jump to the next screen. The composite image makes it easy to make a sprite. I suppose you could also make composite images for Miko's expressions as well and just layer them on top of her base image.

Hopefully all of this helped? Let me know if I need to explain my idea more. I'm new to making ren'py games...
