End of line expected error need diagnosis help

[Evildumdum]

I'm trying out using the as function to show an image twice by redefining it, but i'm getting an end of line expected error and a can't work out why. I know the problem is in the xalign and yalign part of the code but i can't work out why. can anyone help?


This is the part of the code that is a problem

Code: Select all

 if zombie5_center == True:
        if enemy_distance <= 1:
            hide zombie5_small
            hide zombie5_med
            hide zombie5_large
            show zombie1_huge as zombie5_huge xalign 0.4 yalign 0.5

This is the error

Code: Select all

File "game/Combat_image.rpy", line 151: end of line expected.
    show zombie1_huge as zombie5_huge xalign 0.4 yalign 0.5
                                      ^

File "game/Combat_image.rpy", line 155: end of line expected.
    show zombie1_large as zombie5_large xalign 0.4 yalign 0.5
                                        ^

File "game/Combat_image.rpy", line 159: end of line expected.
    show zombie1_med as zombie5_med xalign 0.4 yalign 0.5
                                    ^

File "game/Combat_image.rpy", line 163: end of line expected.
    show zombie1_small as zombie5_small xalign 0.4 yalign 0.5

It looks like screen language (xalign, yalign) is mixed with Ren'Py scripting. If you want to position something in the script, you need to define the position using at.

Here's an example from the tutorial game:

Code: Select all

    show eileen happy at left
    show eileen happy at right as eileen2
    with move

The documentation has a list of predefined positions: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/transforms.html
If you need to create custom positions you can define one using Position():

Code: Select all

init:
    $ offleft_centre = Position(xalign=0.4, yalign=0.5)

label start:
    show zombie1_huge at offleft_centre as zombie5_huge
