Transform doesn't change according to persistent

[Mole-chan]

Pardon the probably not so clear title with this one. There's probably some background required.

Basically, what I am attempting to do is have varying levels of animation for this game, determined by a persistent value. In order to avoid having to load the large animated base, which negates the point of lowering the settings, these are handled by "if else" clauses in an init block. This does mean the game has to be reset to see the changes, but it's a fair tradeoff I think.

An example of the code:

Code: Select all

    transform cad_still_default:
        xpos 201 ypos 77
    
    if persistent.charAnims < 2:
        $cad_anim_default = cad_still_default
    else:
        transform cad_anim_default:
                #animation
                subpixel True
                xpos 201 ypos 77
                linear 0.362 ypos 79
                linear 0.707 ypos 76
                0.531
                repeat

    if persistent.charAnims < 2:
        image cadfael_base normal:
            "gfx/cadfael/base/default/cad_default_base_0000.png"
    else:
        $renpy.image("cadfael_base normal", DynamicDisplayable(draw_animation, "gfx/cadfael/base/default/cad_default_base.png",452, 720,  16,  0.1))
        
            

In any case, this works fine for images. They update properly, even when loaded from a save.

The transforms that determine how the face follows the base however.....don't.

They remain the same until a new expression is loaded. This behavior is the same whether I use "choice" in ATL, or "if else".

It's a little off putting, to say the least. And I'd really like to keep this feature! I just don't know what is causing this behavior or how to fix it. So any help would be appreciated. Hopefully it doesn't end up being something too obvious.

Thank you!

I'm surprised init can have if clause directly
Anyway, if you want to use real-time condition transform, you can use either:
1. DynamicDisplayable
2. Python function that returns transform Displayable http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/trans_tra ... -in-python
Example would be something like this

Code: Select all

def functionX(st,at,d=displayable):
  if conditionA:
    return transformA(d), time #transforms are defined in ATL beforehand
  else:
    return transformB(d), time

image X = DynamicDisplayable(functionX, displayable)

Color us both surprised! I was just seeing if it even would work to avoid extra loading. Looks like it did.

And while the DynamicDisplayable makes sense, I got an error during implementation. This is most likely my mistake.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

The line in question refers to a character being shown, where the code looks like this.

Code: Select all

    image cadfael:
        #animation
        contains:
            #animation
            "cadfael_base normal"
        contains:
            animation
            DynamicDisplayable(chooseTrans, cad_anim_default, cad_still_default, "cadfael_eyes normal")

        contains:
            animation
            DynamicDisplayable(chooseTrans, cad_anim_default, cad_still_default, "cadfael_mouth normal")
        

The adapted method looks like this.

Code: Select all

    def chooseTrans(st,at,transformA, transformB, d):
      if persistent.charAnims == 2:
        return transformA(d), time #transforms are defined in ATL beforehand
      else:
        return transformB(d), time

Looking at the documentation for Transform, that seemed right? But maybe not.

Hello? ^^;; um, any clues?
