Problem with random dynamic side images

[tremmiGames]

Hello devs and community! This is my first post on this forum so please be patient with my stupid question

I work on new VN and now I have a problem.
I have an idea to create random dynamic side images.
Here is an example of correct working code:

Code: Select all

image angel_side_smile:
   "angel_side_0" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
    pause 0.2
    "angel_side_1" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
    pause 0.2
    "angel_side_2" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
    pause 0.2
    "angel_side_1" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
    pause 0.2
    "angel_side_0" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
    pause 0.8
    "angel_side_3" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
    pause 0.2
    "angel_side_4" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
    pause 0.2
    "angel_side_5" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
    pause 0.2
    "angel_side_4" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
    pause 0.2
    "angel_side_3" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
    pause 0.2
    "angel_side_0" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
    pause 5
    repeat

This is what I want to do.:

Code: Select all

image angel_side_smile:
    $ show_angel_smile = renpy.random.choice(["1", "2", "3", "4"])
    if show_angel_smile == "1" or show_angel_smile == "2" or show_angel_smile == "3":
        "angel_side_0" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
        pause 0.2
        "angel_side_1" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
        pause 0.2
        "angel_side_2" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
        pause 0.2
        "angel_side_1" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
        pause 0.2
        "angel_side_0" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
        pause 5
    elif show_angel_smile == "4":
        "angel_side_0" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
        pause 0.2
        "angel_side_3" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
        pause 0.2
        "angel_side_4" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
        pause 0.2
        "angel_side_5" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
        pause 0.2
        "angel_side_4" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
        pause 0.2
        "angel_side_3" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
        pause 0.2
        "angel_side_0" with Dissolve(0.2, alpha=True)
        pause 5
    repeat

Then I got this error.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/dynamic.rpy", line 53: expected 'comma or end of line' not found.
    $ show_angel_smile = renpy.random.choice(["1", "2", "3", "4"])

I understand that in image there is no way to insert the variables, but I still think that there is a correct way to do it.
I tried to insert random before the image, but this works only once and remember the result and use it every time.
Could someone help me with my problem ?

Just make those two alternatives into choices instead.
