how do I put CG's in the game ? [solved]

[Meg']

Hello everyone !

Well here I am begging for help. Yes, I have read a lot of threads but didn’t find what I looked for so I created this topic.

My problem is the following ==> How do I put CG’s during the game ? I mean, is it the same as a picture for a scene or for a character or is it different ? Do I have to delay the appearing of the picture ? Or is there a key word or something that I don't know ?

Because it works if I write some text, but I only want to show the picture. I don't want some text because it's not really nice as a result...

Thanks in advance for your help ^^

Code: Select all

scene CG
with Dissolve(2.0)
$ renpy.pause(1.5, hard=True)

Hmm, I'm not sure if this is how you want it, but this will allow the player to see the CG for a few seconds and without any text I believe.

Yes ! That's exactly what I was looking for ! I tried it and it works.
Thanks a lot !

This is going to be a noobish question, but I wasn't aware of the hard pause before: Is there a way to make it so that it displays the CG and only goes to the next scene once the player clicks somewhere on the CG?

I mean, I realize you could just make the Pause to be "hard=False" so they can click and skip to the next scene, but is there a more 'proper' way of doing what I described above, other than setting a soft pause of several seconds so it displays for a long time unless they click it?

I think this is the code you're looking for, though I admit I'm a noob myself.

That does the job perfectly, thank you!

I'm afraid we're all somewhat noob-ish in a way or another, since other than the really advanced veteran Ren'py users most of us are just learning as we go. XD
