Adding Spaceship Thoughts for a New Character

First, go to variables_editable.rpy. Under the heading SPACESHIP THOUGHT IMAGES you will see several images defined.

For the purposes of this tutorial, these examples will show how to add a character named Bob to the program.

At the end of the declarations, add another image for Bob, using his file_id for the name + "_spacethought".

image b_spacethought = "Menu Screens/Spaceship/b_spacethought.png"

This image should be 651x374 pixels and will be shown behind the thought the character has when the spaceship icon is clicked.

You can then give Bob a SpaceThought when updating the space_thoughts list e.g.

$ space_thoughts.new_choices([
    SpaceThought(b, "Your thought here."),
    SpaceThought(b, "More thoughts.")
])

See Spaceship Thoughts for more information on updating spaceship thoughts.
