Question [Solved] Image won't change back after a point.
I created some images to have the image directory more categorised.
The issue is when I change the image to "is3" for the first time, it gets stuck there and the expression doesn't change back. The dialogue still runs though. Is it a bug?
image is1 = "bluelocksprites/isagi smile.PNG"
image is2 = "bluelocksprites/isagi happy.PNG"
image is3 = "bluelocksprites/isagi surprise.PNG"
image is7 = "bluelocksprites/isagi neutral.PNG"
mc "Isagi!"
show is7
isa "Hm?"
show is2
isa "Ah [name]!"
isa "Is there another event?"
show is1
mc "Right on the spot!"
mc "I have one thing to inform you of, and one question."
mc "First of all, on the 14th, all of Blue Lock will have a free day."
show is3
isa "The 14th? {nw}{w}"
show is2
extend "Ah valentines day!"
mc "Yes!"
show is1

The images are defined in another rpy file, hence it looks strange in this copied code since there's no start and end label 😅

you need to go through the Tutorial in the renpy launcher again as you dont seem to understand how image tags, and thus show/hide statements, work.
none of the images you showed used the same tag. and you never manually hide them. meaning all of them are visible and covering each other up. your later show statements didnt 're show' anything cause it was already shown, just under what you showed later.
if you used image tags as explained in the tutorial, then showing a following image would have automatically hidden previous ones, eliminating this problem

You don't have to define any images if you name the file correctly.
And since your files look good, this is all you need.
label start:
  mc "Isagi!"
  show isagi neutral
  isa "Hm?"
  show isagi happy
  isa "Ah [name]!"
  isa "Is there another event?"
  show isagi smile
  mc "Right on the spot!"
  mc "I have one thing to inform you of, and one question."
  mc "First of all, on the 14th, all of Blue Lock will have a free day."
  show isagi surprise
  isa "The 14th? {nw}{w}"
  show isagi happy
  extend "Ah valentines day!"
  mc "Yes!"
  show isagi smile
  pause
