renpy.show and yalign

[jewxcelia]

I just don't understand why this doesn't work
$ renpy.show(hero):
yalign 0.5
File "game/script.rpy", line 396: Line is indented, but the preceding one-line python statement statement does not expect a block. Please check this line's indentation.
yalign 0.5
^
I need an image to be on the center. Maybe there is another solution?

That won't work because renpy.show() is a function, it can't be followed by : or properties, what you need is a statement.

Where are you trying to do this? If it's in the script, for example, you use show statement:

Code: Select all

show hero:
    yalign .5

Or, if it's in a screen:

Code: Select all

add hero:
    yalign .5

I use $renpy.show because hero is a variable. One could choose a character and I didn't find a better way to show a character because show doesn't seem to work with variables. But I think I can solve this with if statement.
Thank you for reply
