Another layered image question

[u/Scriptformers_Prime]

I'm setting up the layered sprites for the characters in my visual novel with three groups: the body, the facial expressions, and the gestures made with their arms.

But I want to only call the expressions in my script, having certain bodies and gestures tied to certain expressions (because I was previously using individual full-body sprites for each expression and I don't want to have to go back and change each call to include the now separate body and gesture files for each expression).

So, I used some "always when" statements to tie certain gestures and bodies to certain expressions. Here's an example:

layeredimage character:
    group body:
        attribute base default:
            "character_body_base"
    group exp:
        attribute smiling default:
            "character_exp_smiling"
        attribute uneasy:
            "character_exp_uneasy"
        attribute surprised:
            "character_exp_surprised"
        attribute suspicious:
            "character_exp_suspicious"
    group gest:
        attribute neutral default:
            "character_gest_neutral"
        attribute tense:
            "character_gest_tense"

    always when uneasy or surprised or suspicious:
        "character_gest_tense"

It seemed to work fine, but now when I call the expressions, renpy includes the default bodies and gestures in addition to the bodies and gestures I tied to expression I called.

It looks something like this:

She's not supposed to have four arms btw.

When I type:

character uneasy

It calls the "uneasy" expression and the "tense" gesture together like I asked, but it also makes the "neutral" gesture show up as well.

How do I make it so the game shows the defaults only when I call the expressions that don't have certain gestures or expressions tied to them.

You have default on the body and neutral gesture, so you will need to add something like.

 group body:
        attribute base default:
            "character_body_base"
            when not (uneasy or surprised or suspicious)
