Using a variable as an image name

[SoupyTheCat]

How would I use a variable as part of an image name when using the show command? For example, setting the variable score to 20 and using that to show the image score_20. Technically I could use a bunch of else/if statements, but that would get cluttered easily.

Theres a few ways to do this.
One way you can achieve this is via ConditionSwitch.
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/displaya ... tionSwitch

Code: Select all

image score = ConditionSwitch(
    "score == 0", "score_00.png",
    "score == 1", "score_01.png",
    "score == 2", "score_02.png")
    ##etcetera

label start:
    show score
    $score += 1
    "You have [score] point"
    $score += 1
    "You have [score] points"
    
    return
    

Or you can use python and screen language.

Code: Select all

default score = 0

screen score_screen():
    imagebuton:
        idle "images/score_{}%s.png" .format(score)
        action NullAction()

label start:
    show screen score_screen
    $score += 1
    "You have [score] point"
    $score += 1
    "You have [score] points"
    
    return

There are probably more ways, but I find either of these more than sufficient for my needs.

Also: DynamicImage:

Code: Select all

image score_img = DynamicImage("score_[score].png")
