ctc not working with multiple characters?

[Cubaris]

hello, i wanted to add a blinking ctc, but it only shows up for one character (the one with placeholder in the name below), even though i have the ctc connected to both characters' .rpy files.

Code: Select all

define m = Character("placeholder", color="#9f0000", image="m", ctc="ctc_blink",  ctc_position="nestled")

Code: Select all

define p = Character("Phantom", color="#ff007d", image="phantom", ctc="ctc_blink", ctc_position="nestled")

this is what i'm using for the ctc

Code: Select all

image ctc_blink:
       "gui/ctc.png"
       linear 0.75 alpha 1.0
       linear 0.75 alpha 0.0
       repeat

ctc should work for all characters. Which one is not working? You have some leading whitespace in the first character before ctc_position, but I don't thinkt that should be any problem.

the ctc works for the first character, but not the second character.

No issues on my side using your ctc and character definitions. Which Renpy version are you using?

What if you create a third character and try it?

How exactly do you use the characters? (Show some code please!)

i just updated it and tested the game again and it suddenly worked o_o;
maybe that was the issue?

also here's how i've been using the characters so far, just some tests

Code: Select all

label start:

    scene park
    show m at cenleft
    show phantom at cenright

    show m at bounce
    m "test."

    show phantom at bounce
    p "lol."

    scene desert with fade
    show m sunset at cenleft
    show phantom sunset at cenright

    show phantom at bounce
    p "how did we get here?!"

    show m at bounce
    m "does it look like i know?? im gonna go look around."

    hide m with easeoutright
    m "this place sucks."

    return

You did everything right, seems like this was just an issue with an older Renpy version then.
