Expected Statment help?

#1 Post by serusk » Sun May 15, 2011 1:41 pm

I'm working on a game, and I'm use the DSE framework thing and i'm sure I'm tpying this in right but I keep getting an error.

Here's what my code looks like,

Code: Select all

# The game starts here.
label start:

display_stats("strength"=True, bar=True, value=True, max=True)
and Heres the error i keep on getting

Code: Select all

# I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/script.rpy", line 54: expected statement.
    display_stats("strength"=True, bar=True, value=True, max=True)
                                                                  ^  
What am I suppose to do?

When running python code, you need to make it part of a python statement. Here, you probably want the single-like python statement, which begins with a dollar sign:

Code: Select all

label start:

    $ display_stats("strength"=True, bar=True, value=True, max=True)
