Errors on using certain code parts

[Neon Lemmy Koopa]

So Im going through alot of the documentation on the Ren'Py website. Im using it in the context shown in the examples, however it doesn't seem to work for me. One of the commands included the pause command:

Code: Select all

 scene whitebg with pause(1)

Here is the error from the trackback file

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an exception occured while executing your Ren'Py
script.

NameError: name 'pause' is not defined

While running game code:

While running game code:

also using the define a position command

Code: Select all

topright = Position(xpos=0.5, xanchor='right', ypos=0.0, yanchor='top')

Error:

Code: Select all

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


On line 4 of C:\Documents and Settings\Sam Hobson\My Documents\renpy-6.6.3-full\renpy-6.6.3\Test AA App/game/script.rpy: expected statement.
topright = Position(xpos=0.5, xanchor='right', ypos=0.0, yanchor='top')
         ^

These were the only 2 I could remember, but most of the errors I got looked like one of the two above. And Im sure I was using them in the context shown on the website.

First: The function Pause needs a capital P because Python functions are case-sensitive.

Second: Put a $ before creating/assigning a variable like

Code: Select all

$ topright = Position(xpos=0.5, xanchor='right', ypos=0.0, yanchor='top')

[Neon Lemmy Koopa]

OK so I think the $ was the problem for most of those. However now I'm getting an error with the position.

Code: Select all

init:
  $     top = Position(xpos=0.5, xanchor='center', ypos=0.0, yanchor='top')           
  

And heres the error

Code: Select all

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

scratch that, it was an indentation error.

Ok so now I'm trying to un-# some options in the options.rpy and Im coming out with errors.

Code: Select all

    style.window.yminimum = 150

<---thats what I un-#
Here's the trackback file:

Code: Select all

Can you post the whole options.rpy file? It's hard to diagnose a syntax error without the whole file.
