Can someone help me with 'Side Images' please!!!

[piratequeen]

So I've been really, really stumped.

I can get the side image to appear.
But I would like to change the picture at certain times.

For example:

She's happy, so its a side image of her smiling.
But then I would like to change it so she's crying.

But I have no clue at all of how to do that.
I've tried many things. And searched a lot. Can't find nothing!

The code im using right now (just for her being happy):

Code: Select all

define n = Character('[player_name]', color="#c8ffc8", window_left_padding=227, image="naomi")
image side naomi = "side naomi normal.png"

So to sum it up, can someone PLEASE help me.
I want to change the side image, but not delete that one.

So she can be happy at one point, then crying the next. as a side image.
Please please please help!!! hours i've been stumped

Forgive me if I get this wrong, but hopefully I can help. Using the code you've provided already for the example:

Code: Select all

define n = Character('[player_name]', color="#c8ffc8", window_left_padding=227, image="naomi")
image side naomi = "side naomi normal.png"

Define the rest of the images you plan to use for her as well if you haven't already. i.e. images like this with whatever names you have for them:

Code: Select all

image side naomi cry = "side naomi cry.png"
image side naomi nervous = "side naomi nervous.png"

Then when you're down in the game script, just put the correct emotion from the side images you've named, (cry, nervous, or whatever word(s) you've used after "image side naomi"), in the correct place after your defined name (in this case "n"):

Code: Select all

n "I'm feeling happy."
n cry "Now I'm crying..."
n "I'm okay again."

Good luck! Let me know if it's still not working for you.

Another way is to use condition switch in your character declaration and use a variable to change the side images.
Create a variable in your init block:

Code: Select all

init:
    $ mood = 0

We will decide that, for example, 0=neutral, 1=happy and 2=sad.
Define your images:

Code: Select all

image naomi neutral = "naomi neutral.png"
image naomi happy = "naomi happy.png"
image naomi sad = "naomi sad.png"

then we will declare the character as follows:

Code: Select all

$ n = Character('Naomi', color='#aa4933', show_side_image=ConditionSwitch('mood==0', 'naomi neutral', 'mood==1', 'naomi happy', 'mood==2', 'naomi sad', xalign=0, yalign=1.0), window_left_padding=120) #adjust the left padding for your character size

now we can use it this way:

Code: Select all

$ mood = 1
n "I'm feeling happy."
$ mood = 2
n "Now I'm crying..."
$ mood = 0
n "I'm okay again."

Hi,I've been trying to follow this post for my own game but I keep running into a problem

ethier my character won't change expressions,or it will tell me, AttributeError: NoneType object has no attribute 'set_transition'. Which I think has to do with the init somehow?

Code: Select all

# Declare images below this line, using the image statement.
image side NTest_frown = "NTest_frown.png"
image side  NTest_smile = "NTest_smile.png"

# Declare characters used by this game.
define n = Character('Nia', color="#c8ffc8", window_left_padding=160, image="NTest_frown")
$ n = Character('Nia', color='#aa4933', show_side_image=ConditionSwitch('mood==0', 'NTest_smile', 'mood==1', 'NTest_frown', xalign=0, yalign=1.0), window_left_padding=160)

# The game starts here.
label start:
init:
   $ mood = 1  
   n "sad"
   $ mood = 0
   n "smile"
return

I tried modifying it for my game,but I guess I missed something,could someone tell me what I need to fix please?
