Strange behavior, one scene showing the other not

[JimPanse]

Ok guys, help me out here please cause it's driving me mad.

I have two image sets working as animations setup as in the code below.
The first animation is showing up perfectly fine, but the second is just skipped, although it's completely the same as the first animation, just slightly different image names.
Here's the code

Code: Select all

    label ch3_meg_mas:
    scene ch3megmas:

    show mb_door as mbd02
    ma "Holy crap, what a sight."

The second scene is just skipped and goes straight to show mb_door.
Strange thing is, when I supplement scene ch3megmastop with fade or with dissolve, it shows up for a fraction of a second as if it wants to start and then just also goes straight to show mb_door.
Both scenes/animations codes are exactly the same except for different image names. Yet the first one works fine and the second one isn't showing up at all. Filenames are correct, image paths are correct. I don't get it.
Please help guys

Ok I found out what the problem was.
It seems like Renpy needs dialogue within a scene statement, otherwise it will just skip it.
As soon as I added some dialogue to the animation, it showed up just fine.
Don't know why dialogue is explicitly needed, but that's how it is it seems

I suspect “mb_door” is full screen so you cannot see “ch3megastop” is playing beneath it. What is happening is that the pauses within the animation does not pause the entire game, so once the scene is shown, it continues to the next line, which is the show image line (adding dialogue right after the scene works because it stops continuing to the next line until clicked). You may want to use hard pause and assign it a specific duration if you want the player to watch a bit of the scene.
