At the start of my RenPy game, the player chooses a male or female character. The game plays out the same for both, save for some details.

The problem is that I want to write:

show hero normal

and get the image of the correct sex of the character chosen at the start.

I started to write a python function to do this, but it looks wrong because there seems to be enough ATL language to do this, even if I can't find a way.

Any idea?

ATL doesn't have an if statement at the moment. You can use DynamicDisplayable for this - the code looks like:

image hero normal = ConditionSwitch(
    "male", "male_normal.png",
    "True", "female_normal.png")

I've added an ATL if statement to the list of things I'll add to Ren'Py in the future, since it really should be there.

Someone on this forum showed me that I could use choice in ATL : 

image hero normal:
    choice( hero_sex == "man" ):
        "hero_man_normal.png"
    choice( hero_sex == "woman" ):
        "hero_woman_normal.png"

Not perfect solution but simple enough to solve my problem.
