How do I clear side image attributes?

[jackmcbarn]

After I use say with image attributes, how do I remove the attributes without replacing them with new ones? Assume that I have 'side eileen.png', 'side eileen mad.png', and 'side eileen happy.png'.

Code: Select all

define e = Character("Eileen", image="eileen")
define se = Character("Someone else")

label start:
    e "This will show the 'side eileen' image"
    e "This will still show the 'side eileen' image"
    e mad "This will show the 'side eileen mad' image"
    e "This will still show the 'side eileen mad' image"
    e happy "This will show the 'side eileen happy' image"
    se "The tags get remembered even if someone else talks in between"
    e "This will still show the 'side eileen happy' image"

So in this example, how do I get back to showing just 'side eileen'?

Hi, jackmcbarn,

Any world will work if it is not in the pool of attributes. Renpy is looking for the best match of attributes, so if you don't use happy and add another non-pool attribute, the best match is default image side eileen. Try this example:

Code: Select all

label start:
    e "e default"
    e happy "e happy"
    e None "e default"
    e happy "e happy"
    e default "e default"
    e happy "e happy"
    e d "e default"
    e happy default "THIS IS e happy"

Don't remember if this was ever added to the docs where it should be (looking at it now, I guess not?), but -attribute should work with side images. You can also use @ attribute for one-line only attributes.

Code: Select all

label start:
    e "This will show the 'side eileen' image"
    e mad "This will show the 'side eileen mad' image"
    e -mad "Back to 'side eileen'."

This doesn't work the way you'd think it would. It seems like it's just replacing the attribute with one called "-mad" and not just removing the one called "mad". In particular, if I make a file called "side eileen -mad.png", it will switch to it.

Huh. Weird. Figured that it would support the new - and @ notation but guess that's just for layered images. Guess you can always force it by providing a nonexistent attribute as pointed out above.
