Hi love this, mucking around with it and im wondering how the video call function works.
Was wondering if i could use a video file as the call??
Thanks

to start a video call, simply do
`phone call "character" video`
the phone will then display a layer displayable, whose name is phone.config.video_call_layer.
all you need to do is show your video on said layer:
```
show my_vid onlayer phone_video_call
phone call "character" video
"video is showing on the phone"
```
show testvid onlayer video_call_layer
phone call "mc" video
"video is showing on the phone"
phone end call
keep getting error:
File "game/script.rpy", line 3499: end of line expected.
phone call "mc" video
so tried this
phone call ("mc" , video)
which fixed the error but now i get
File "game/script.rpy", line 3498, in script
show testvid onlayer video_call_layer
Exception: Trying to add something to non-existent layer 'video_call_layer'
i just know im either screwing up your coding or missing the obvious
please help
if you get a parsing error on the `phone call` statement, then it might be because you aren't using the latest version
also, the name of the layer isn't `video_call_layer`. it's the value of the phone config variable phone.config.video_call_layer, which defaults to `phone_video_call`.
