Adding a CTC animation to custom name

I'm wondering how to add a CTC animation to the dialogue of the player character. I can't find an easy way of doing this
Here's my code:
Code: Select all
$ mc = renpy.input("Your Name", length=8)
$ mc = mc.strip()
if mc == "":
$ mc="MC"
init -1:
$ d = Character("Damon", ctc="ctc_animation", ctc_position="fixed")
$ a = Character("Atticus", color="#ffffff", ctc="ctc_animation", ctc_position="fixed")
$ r = Character("Rhys", ctc="ctc_animation", ctc_position="fixed")
$ e = Character("Enzo", ctc="ctc_animation", ctc_position="fixed")
$ n = Character(None, ctc="ctc_animation", ctc_position="fixed")
Adding the ctc animation definition to the renpy.input line doesn't work...

Still can't find a solution to this.
Code: Select all
$ mc = Character("[mc]", ctc="ctc_animation", ctc_position="fixed")
This does nothing :/

Characters should be defined with define statement. Also you may want to use a different variable for the character's name to avoid confusion with the character object. Try something like:
Code: Select all
define mc = Character("[mc_name]", ctc="ctc_animation")
label start:
$ mc_name = renpy.input("Your Name", length=8)
$ mc_name = mc_name.strip()
mc "My name is [mc_name]!"

Thanks! That worked. Do you have any idea why it didn't work before? Before this I used define statements to define the character, but it still didn't work. From what I can see the code is the exact same one I used earlier...
Maybe it just got confused because of the naming?

Welp, now the ctc animation is gone again. I literally didn't change the code at all but it just disappeared??? Only on the mc character, too.
