onlayer returning end of line expected error

[Evildumdum]

I'm trying to apply a transform to a specific layer then show one of my screens on that layer, however i keep running into an end of line error that i am not expecting.
Here's all the relevant code:

Code: Select all

$ renpy.layer_at_list([ZoomList[MapZoom][0]], layer='mapdisplay')
    if UnitPlaced == True:
        $ ActiveDeployment = []
        $ UnitPlaced = False
        $ PlaceUnit = False
    if AddZoom == 1:
        python:
            MapZoom += 1
            AddZoom = 0
            for y in range(0, len(CurrentOverlay)):
                for x in range(0, len(CurrentOverlay[y])):
                    CurrentOverlay[y][x].XPos = FindPos(x, zoomlist[MapZoom][1])
                    CurrentOverlay[y][x].YPos = FindPos(y, zoomlist[MapZoom][1])
            renpy.layer_at_list([ZoomList[MapZoom][0]], layer='mapdisplay')
    if MinusZoom == 1:
        python:
            MapZoom -= 1
            MinusZoom = 0
            for y in range(0, len(CurrentOverlay)):
                for x in range(0, len(CurrentOverlay[y])):
                    CurrentOverlay[y][x].XPos = FindPos(x, zoomlist[MapZoom][1])
                    CurrentOverlay[y][x].YPos = FindPos(y, zoomlist[MapZoom][1])
            renpy.layer_at_list([ZoomList[MapZoom][0]], layer='mapdisplay')

Code: Select all

    show screen CurrentMap onlayer mapdisplay
    call screen ZoomScreen

and the error:

Code: Select all

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

File "game/CombatEngine.rpy", line 601: end of line expected.
    show screen CurrentMap onlayer mapdisplay
                           

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.99.11.1749

Anyone got an idea why it's giving me this error?

Hello,

Have you tried show screen CurrentMap without the 'onlayer mapdisplay'?

[Evildumdum]

yes, it works just fine. I've been doing it that way for the entirety of the games development. But in an effort to cut down on the ATL that is causing lag i am trying to apply the zoom transform to the entire layer instead (every item in the screen had the same "zoom" applied to it independently before this).

[SypherZent]

Ohh, I understand.

I'm not sure show screen is capable of taking the onlayer in that syntax.
Have you tried statement equivalents to handle the showing of the items via the screens rather than the script?

https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/statemen ... lents.html

Specifically, the renpy.show(name, at_list=, []layer='master', what=None, zorder=0, tag=None, behind=[])

For instance, inside the screen, using it as such:

Code: Select all

screen some_screen:
    renpy.show("other_screen", layer='mapdisplay')

And then using your zoom applied to the layer in the script.rpy file?

I was trying to adapt the show blabla bla onlayer blabla shown here. Granted it is for static defined images, but i was hoping it would apply to screens as well.
