Ren'Py Animated Images

[Insanepenguin91]

Hello,
Im running into an issue on renpy - i want to show to images on loop but i keep getting an error in the coding or the second image is just ignored and the game show the next part. Please advise on the code below:

scene vero-a1 animated with fade:
"vero-a2" with dissolve
pause (1)
"vero-a1" with dissolve
pause (1)
repeat

i got it to work once but when i tried to recreate the code with another set of images it would not work

You could try defining the animation and then calling it when needed instead. So something like:

image vero:
"vero-a2.png"
pause 1
"vero-a1.png"
pause 1
repeat

show vero
with dissolve

Might be worth a shot? (also I can't get the indents to work on this post so remember to do them!)

Pro tip: Click on the + tab in the edit bar to put code in a window that keeps the indents. Yo, Joe!
Sample:

def path_to_saves(gamedir, save_directory=None):
    import renpy  # @UnresolvedImport

    if save_directory is None:
        save_directory = renpy.config.save_directory
        save_directory = renpy.exports.fsencode(save_directory)

    # Makes sure the permissions are right on the save directory.
    def test_writable(d):
        try:
            fn = os.path.join(d, "test.txt")
            open(fn, "w").close()
            open(fn, "r").close()
            os.unlink(fn)
            return True
        except:
            return False

Pro tip #2: If there is a lot of code, you can put the code (after using the code tab) in a spoiler to save space.
Sample:

I tried to create the image before the label

image vero:
    "vero-a1.jpg"
    pause 1
    "vero-a2.jpg"
    pause 1
    repeat

and then use it when i needed in the code

scene vero
    with dissolve

but its not working - it still skips to the next scene

Try either not indenting the "with dissolve" or putting it on the same line as the "scene vero"

Thanks everyone for their help, i got it to work. i created the image before the label

image vero1:
    "vero-a1"
    1
    "vero-a2"
    1
    repeat

then just use it when i needed in the code

show vero1 with dissolve

Oops! Sorry about that! :confounded:

Glad you got it working in the end though.
