renpy.showing

Function: renpy.showing (name, layer='master'):

Returns True if name is a prefix of an image that's being shown on layer. name may be a tuple of strings, or a single string. In the latter case, it is split on whitespace to make a tuple.

When called during image prediction, this uses the images that are predicted to be shown, rather than the images that are currently being shown.

Example

This only hides the eileen image with a dissolve if it is being shown. This allows us to avoid an unnecessary dissolve.

if renpy.showing("eileen"):
    hide eileen
    with dissolve
