Expected Statement Problem

[Mooneon]

So this code is in the screen.rpy and I'm currently working on the preferences.

Code: Select all

grid 3 1:  
 style_group "prefs"
     xfill True

        # The left column.
        vbox:
            frame:
                style_group "pref"
                has vbox

                label _("Display")
                textbutton _("Window") action Preference("display", "window")
                textbutton _("Fullscreen") action Preference("display", "fullscreen")

            frame:
                style_group "pref"
                has vbox

                label _("Transitions")
                textbutton _("All") action Preference("transitions", "all")
                textbutton _("None") action Preference("transitions", "none")

And suddenly. There's an error here. It's mostly all about the grid 3 1: Now it's asking about the expected statement.
How do I fix this?

Code: Select all

your indentation at "style_group "prefs"" is wrong, that's why it can't find the following block

[Mooneon]

I've changed the indentation in different ways and yet it is still telling me about an expected statement.

Code: Select all

# Put the navigation columns in a three-wide grid.
   grid 3 1:
        style_group "prefs"
        xfill True

Moving the grid 3 1: doesn't work either because of indentation
Moving the style_group "prefs" doesn't work either. Everything I change in the script it just keeps asking for syntax, indentation or an expected statement. It's the grid 3 1: !! There's a problem with this word!

Code: Select all

   # Put the navigation columns in a three-wide grid.
grid 3 1:
        style_group "prefs"
        xfill True


 

Code: Select all

P:S I am still new to Renpy. So i don't really understand some things. So please help! I would really love that.

I think you'd want it like this:

Code: Select all

grid 3 1: 
     style_group "prefs"
     xfill True

    # The left column.
    vbox:
        frame:
            style_group "pref"
            has vbox

            label _("Display")
            textbutton _("Window") action Preference("display", "window")
            textbutton _("Fullscreen") action Preference("display", "fullscreen")

        frame:
            style_group "pref"
            has vbox

            label _("Transitions")
            textbutton _("All") action Preference("transitions", "all")
            textbutton _("None") action Preference("transitions", "none")

You basically don't want to indent anything unless the preceding line has a ":" at the end of it, which defines what follows as a "block". All "blocks" need to be at the same indentation level. I'm not positive that would work, I'm a bit hazy on screen language myself, but the intendentation should be right. If that still doesn't fix it, then maybe a previous segment was improperly indented as well and it didn't catch on until the part that you linked there.

Niow if you DID intend the original version right for what you wanted, then you would need to add in ":"s to the end of the preceding lines.

I pasted it on my screens.rpy. And yet it is still talking about the expected statement.

@Onishion: There was still one space too much in front of "style_group "prefs"" and "xfill True"

Code: Select all

grid 3 1: 
    style_group "prefs"
    xfill True

    # The left column.
    vbox:
        frame:
            style_group "pref"
            has vbox

            label _("Display")
            textbutton _("Window") action Preference("display", "window")
            textbutton _("Fullscreen") action Preference("display", "fullscreen")

        frame:
            style_group "pref"
            has vbox

            label _("Transitions")
            textbutton _("All") action Preference("transitions", "all")
            textbutton _("None") action Preference("transitions", "none")

I didn't test this, but indentation on this part is correct.
since you use it in a screen there has to be at least one more set of 4 spaces for indent, more if there's more blocks than just "screen name():"

Code: Select all

screen name():
    grid 3 1: 
        style_group "prefs"
        xfill True

        # The left column.
        vbox:
            frame:
                style_group "pref"
                has vbox

                label _("Display")
                textbutton _("Window") action Preference("display", "window")
                textbutton _("Fullscreen") action Preference("display", "fullscreen")

            frame:
                style_group "pref"
                has vbox

                label _("Transitions")
                textbutton _("All") action Preference("transitions", "all")
                textbutton _("None") action Preference("transitions", "none")
