Schrodinger's layered sprite issue(Solved)

[VolTitanDev]

Hey everyone so I tried to make a layer character sprite for my VN

Code: Select all

define s = Character("Saktora",color = "#ffffff",who_outlines = [(1,"#008000",0,0)])

layeredimage saktora:
    always:
        "saktora_base"
    group hair:
        attribute bob default:
            "saktora_hair_bob"
    group emotion:
        attribute blush:
            "saktora_emotion_blush"
    group eyebrow:
        attribute relax default:
            "saktora_eyebrow_relax"
        attribute angry:
            "saktora_eyebrow_angry"
        attribute sad:
            "saktora_eyebrow_sad"
    group eye:
        attribute normal default:
            "saktora_eye_normal"
        attribute sarcasm:
            "saktora_eye_sarcasm"
        attribute surprise:
            "saktora_eye_surprise"
        attribute flirt:
            "saktora_eye_flirt"
        attribute cheeful:
            "saktora_eye_cheerful"
        attribute blink:
            "saktora_blink"
    group mouth:
        attribute smile default:
            "saktora_mouth_smile"
        attribute frown:
            "saktora_mouth_frown"
        attribute happy:
            "saktora_mouth_happy"
        attribute shock:
            "saktora_mouth_shock"
        attribute tease:
            "saktora_mouth_tease"
        attribute speak:
            "saktora_speak"
    group outfit:
        attribute amazon default:
            "saktora_outfit_amazon"
        attribute housewife:
            "saktora_outfit_housewife"
        attribute towel:
            "saktora_outfit_towel"

image saktora_speak:
    "saktora_mouth_speak"
    .5
    "saktora_mouth_speak2"
    .5
    "saktora_mouth_speak3"
    .5
    repeat

image saktora_blink:
    "saktora_eye_blink"
    .5

    "saktora_eye_blink2"
    .5
    repeat

but when I attempt to show the sprite in the script

Code: Select all

     show saktora
    s "This is only a test to see if the sprite will appear"

the visual novel starts as usual but when I get to the part were the sprite would appear the game stops and I get a traceback error

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 35, in script
    s "This is only a test to see if the sprite will appear"
  File "game/script.rpy", line 35, in script
    s "This is only a test to see if the sprite will appear"
  File "renpy/common/000window.rpy", line 98, in _window_auto_callback
    _window_show()
  File "renpy/common/000window.rpy", line 60, in _window_show
    renpy.with_statement(trans)
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded
     

and if I changed the sprite's name the sprite would be invisible

I don't understand what I did wrong when writing the layer code or what might be the cause of the recursion error.

I did a test run with your code (but different images obviously)

And I did not get any exception.

The problem might be something completely different than the layered image.

Recursion as far as I understand is a function calling itself. To be a useful method it need something to cut the loop of calling itself of at a reasonable amount of repetitions. At 1000 repeats the maximum recursion depth is exceeded. I wouldn't expect layered image is something that use this method. But I'm out of my depth here.

I managed to solve the recursion error with a force recompile but when the game starts my layer sprite is invisible when it was supposed to show

[VolTitanDev]

I figured out that the reason that the layered sprite is invisible is because is the image is a different size than the rest of the layer image
