Create an animation with time parameters

[Ornitovox]

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to Renpy and I'm practicing with some codes found in this wise forum.
I would like you to give me an idea like this convert to a custom function:

Code: Select all

image Run 1:
    "images/001.jpg"
    pause .15
    "images/002.jpg"
    pause .15
    "images/003.jpg"
    pause .15
    repeat
    

Code: Select all

def Run (int charID):
         # show images/001.jpg"
    	 # pause charID
    	 # show images/001.jpg"
    	 # pause charID
    	 # show images/001.jpg"
    	 # pause charID
         # repeat
          

Code: Select all

j "Hi"
$Run(0.3)
j "fast"
$Run(0.1)

Any help or guidance will be welcome

Hmmm... I think your first code was fine.
Try something like this:

Code: Select all

image run_1:
	"images/001.jpg"
	pause .15
	"images/002.jpg"
	pause .15
	"images/003.jpg"
	pause .15
	repeat  ## Will repeat infinitely.
	# repeat 4  ## Will rpeat 4 times.
	# time 5.0  ## Will run the animation for 5 seconds and end.
	
label start:
	j "Hi."
	show run_1
	j "I'm running!"
...

You’re missing the point - he wants to be able to vary the times on an invocation-by-invocation basis, not have them hard coded.

There may be magic I don’t know, but the only way I know how to do this is with a custom Displayable.

I believe the most direct equivalent of what you're asking for would be something like:

Code: Select all

transform run(t):
    "images/001.jpg"
    t
    "images/002.jpg"
    t
    "images/003.jpg"
    t
    repeat

label start:
    show expression run(.3) as runner
    j "Hi"
    show expression run(.1) as runner
    j "fast"
    return

Thank you ... it has helped me a lot !!!! Transformation is the best way to do this.
Although I did not find information on: "... as runner"

as runner is effectively naming what's displayed for Ren'Py's benefit, so that when you do the next show ... as runner it's replaced, rather than being shown along side or on top of it. runner in this instance is just a name I picked for the purposes of the demo, it could be anything that's not considered syntax keyword.

Code: Select all

show a
'Implicitly tagged as "a".'
show expression magic(2.) as a
'This tells renpy to treat it as if it was tagged "a", and so replaces the image shown by the previous show.'
show b
'Implicitly tagged as "b", shown alongside anything already on screen.'
show a as b
'Because it\'s tagged as "b", it replaces the image shown by the last show, resulting in two copies of image "a" being displayed.'

I'm afraid that ended up a little less straight forward than I had hoped, but with any luck it's still useful. Here's a link to the official documentation for as which can be found within the show docs: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/displayi ... -statement

Thank you for your time ... this latest information has helped me a lot, even more than my first question. XD Thanks!!!
