%()s isn't working in show expression

[M0ti]

Hi,

i am trying to create simulation of writing a letter. Player will see empty paper

Code: Select all

show vzkaz4 with dissolve:
       xanchor .5
       yanchor .5
       xpos .5
       ypos .35

And then he will choose what to write:

Code: Select all

menu:
    "About snow":
             $ topic = "I really like snow!"
    "About trees":
             $ topic = "I like trees."

And then it will shows on the empty paper.

Code: Select all

show expression Text("%(topic)s", size=25, color = "#000") as text with dissolve:
     xanchor .0
     yanchor .0
     xpos .1
     ypos .1

But that is only my wish. The only thing, written on empty paper is %(topic)s
If I use it in normal dialog sentence

Code: Select all

"Tom" "%(topic)s"

everything works normally. Only in expression not. Any idea, why? Or how I make my wish come true?

Are you using Ren'Py 6.13 and up?
With those versions, you change all of these:

Code: Select all

%(variable)s

to:

Code: Select all

[variable]
