Character Callback not activating

[amaturemanga]

Hi there im trying to use a Character callback so that everytime a character speaks the the sprite zooms in a little. I've got the setup with the transforms and the callback in the character definition but nothing happens when the character speaks no zoom. Not getting any errors its as if i never coded a callback here is my basic setup:

Transforms.rpy

Code: Select all

transform close:
    zoom 1.2

transform normal:
    zoom 1.0

Script.rpy

Code: Select all

init python:
    def my_zoom1(event, interact=True, **kwargs):
        if not interact:
            return
        if event == "begin":
            if renpy.showing("m"):
                renpy.show("m", at_list=[close])
        elif event == "end":
            if renpy.showing("m"):
                renpy.show("m", at_list=[normal])

    def my_zoom2(event, interact=True, **kwargs):
        if not interact:
            return
        if event == "begin":
            if renpy.showing("r"):
                renpy.show("r", at_list=[close])
        elif event == "end":
            if renpy.showing("r"):
                renpy.show("r", at_list=[normal])

    def my_zoom3(event, interact=True, **kwargs):
        if not interact:
            return
        if event == "begin":
            if renpy.showing("ma"):
                renpy.show("ma", at_list=[close])
        elif event == "end":
            if renpy.showing("ma"):
                renpy.show("ma", at_list=[normal])

define m = Character('Mother', ctc="ctc_blink", ctc_position="nestled", what_prefix='"', what_suffix='"', callback=my_zoom1)
define r = Character('Robert', ctc="ctc_blink", ctc_position="nestled", what_prefix='"', what_suffix='"', callback=my_zoom2)
define ma = Character('Maya', ctc="ctc_blink", ctc_position="nestled", what_prefix='"', what_suffix='"', callback=my_zoom3)

    show Maya1 with dissolve

    m "That's all you're getting. You should have thought twice before eating so quickly!"

renpy.showing probably doesn't become True, at least in your example.

You are showing Maya1, it has no tag "m" (or "ma" or any other except "Maya1").

PS. To debug such things you can add print statements, like this:

Code: Select all

    def my_zoom1(event, interact=True, **kwargs):
        print("callback")
        if not interact:
            return
        print("interact")
        if event == "begin":
            print("begin")
            if renpy.showing("player"):
                renpy.show("player", at_list=[close])
                print("showing")
        elif event == "end":
            print("end")
            if renpy.showing("player"):
                renpy.show("player", at_list=[normal])
                print("showing")

The you open the console (shift-o) and see which messages were printed.
