How do you show two characters at the same time?

[Kattsnurr360]

I tried to have one character at the left side of the screen and the other at the right side of the screen. However, once I tries to call for another character to appear, the first character disappears...

Code: Select all

show Sprite Dark Hair at left
jump endstory
    
    label endstory:
    
    show Sprite Blonde Hair at right

Thanks for the answers in advance

I actually had the same problem - try renaming the files:

Sprite Dark Hair to Dark Hair Sprite
Sprite Blonde Hair to Blonde Hair Sprite

(You can rename them to anything you want, but if both pictures have Sprite as the first word Ren'py thinks their parts of the same image if that makes sense.)
So, yeah, just rename them so that they don't both have Sprite in front.

Thank you starshine001, the script worked when I changed the names

It should be possible to

Code: Select all

show Sprite Dark Hair as something_else

You would need to define a "something_else" image so Ren'Py knows what its using.
