Switch cannot choose a displayable error? [SOLVED]

[nukedeggs]

Hello all. So in my game I want to display side-images next to the dialogue box, and I have a lot of side-images that I sometimes add more to. My usual procedure when adding a new side-image is to reload Ren'Py, start a new game, and then play through to see if it works. Recently I added a few new side images, but unfortunately, I keep getting a 'Switch Cannot Choose A Displayable Image'. Here is the code in question:

Code: Select all

    
init:
    $ flash = Fade(.25, 0, .75, color="#fff")
    $ redflash = Fade(.25, 0, .75, color="#FF0000")
    $ mood = 0
    $ e = Character('Parker', color='#009933', \
        show_side_image=ConditionSwitch('mood==0', 'par_smile', 
        'mood==1', 'par_surp_frown', \
        'mood==2', 'par_smile_talk', \
        'mood==3', 'par_frown', \
        'mood==4', 'par_blush_smile', \
        'mood==5', 'par_open_mad', \
        'mood==6', 'par_surp_smile', \
        'mood==7', 'par_blush', \
        'mood==8', 'par_sheep_blush', \
        'mood==9', 'par_determined', \
        'mood==10', 'par_norm_frown', \
        'mood==11', 'par_closedeye_blush', \
        'mood==12', 'par_lidded_blush_smile', \
        'mood==13', 'par_sleepy', \
        'mood==14', 'par_sleepy_frown', \
        'mood==15', 'par_crying', \
        'mood==16', 'par_bitter', \
        'mood==17', 'ke_frown', \
        'mood==18', 'ke_smile', \
        'mood==19', 'ke_surp', \
        'mood==20', 'ke_open_surp', \
        xalign=0, yalign=1.0), window_left_padding=210)

label start:
        $mood = 17
        e "Test"

So everything up to Mood==16 works. I recently added the four 'ke' images and went about the process of restarting the game and starting a new game. However, when I try to switch to that mood, I get a 'Switch cannot choose a displayable' error. For those who are interested, here is the stacktrace:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 189, in script
    e "test"
Exception: Switch could not choose a displayable.

If anyone has any insight, I would seriously appreciate it. Thanks everyone!

I'd suggest adding code like:

Code: Select all

define e = Character('Euls', color='#009933', \
        show_side_image=ConditionSwitch('mood==0', 'eul_smile', 
        'mood==1', 'eul_surp_frown', \
        'mood==2', 'eul_smile_talk', \
        'mood==3', 'eul_frown', \
        'mood==4', 'eul_blush_smile', \
        'mood==5', 'eul_open_mad', \
        'mood==6', 'eul_surp_smile', \
        'mood==7', 'eul_blush', \
        'mood==8', 'eul_sheep_blush', \
        'mood==9', 'eul_determined', \
        'mood==10', 'eul_norm_frown', \
        'mood==11', 'eul_closedeye_blush', \
        'mood==12', 'eul_lidded_blush_smile', \
        'mood==13', 'eul_sleepy', \
        'mood==14', 'eul_sleepy_frown', \
        'mood==15', 'eul_crying', \
        'mood==16', 'eul_bitter', \
        'mood==17', 'ke_frown', \
        'mood==18', 'ke_smile', \
        'mood==19', 'ke_surp', \
        'mood==20', 'ke_open_surp', \
        'True', Text("[mood]", size=100),
        xalign=0, yalign=1.0), window_left_padding=210)

The define (which should be at the top level, before label start, replacing the $ e = line) will ensure e is defined at init time. I don't know if this is the problem, but it's possible e is being saved and loaded, which could cause this problem. Remember to start a new game.

The 'True' line will mean that if no other condition is chosen, the number of the mood will be displayed - which should tell us something about the problem, if the former code doesn't fix it.

Hmm I do that in the init block and I still get the same error...where is the number of the mood supposed to be displayed?

[PyTom]

It should be displayed on the screen, where the character would be.

Are you starting your game over? You need to, since your old savegames have the e character saved in them.

[nukedeggs]

Yeah I deleted my persistent data and started a new game, but I'm still getting the error. Not quite sure why the init block is being so finicky...

EDIT: I also tried changing mood=16 (which works) to ke_frown, but it still displays par_bitter. I also tried swapping it out for 'par_crying', but it still displays par_bitter even if I start a new game and delete persistent data.

[PyTom]

Can you post your full code somewhere? I'm having trouble understanding what's wrong.

[nukedeggs]

EDIT: Wait, nevermind. I fixed it. I think the problem was that I have two inits in two different script files and I think that perhaps the other init is taking precedence over the init in script.rpy. Thanks for the help!!
