Hide images before calling a scene? [solved]

#1 Post by Exiscoming » Tue Aug 11, 2020 5:42 am

Let's say I got a scene with 3 characters displayed and I'd like to fade it to a black screen. I'd do something like this:

Code: Select all

hide image1
hide image2
hide image3
scene black
with fade
Will renpy automatically hide the images when calling a scene or will the images still be shown underneath the scene?

Basically, do I have to hide the images before calling a scene?

When you call a scene, RenPy hides the images automatically.
