Say function mysteriously broken for one specific character?

[likeswimwear]

I have tried and tried to figure out just what is going on here, but tragically my knowledge of the code behind the engine is just not there yet. I'm assuming it's a very simple solution, but I'm stumped.

A character in my novel first appears as a disembodied voice, then appears and gets a name and a sprite. I did this with two different characters, and everything was working fine up until and including my test of the second character's (the embodied) first line of dialogue. I then wrote a big chunk of dialogue for said character, only to go back and find that any attempt to display this character's dialogue now causes an error:

While running game code:
File "game/script.rpy", line 1190, in script
m "I was hoping you would say that."
Exception: Parameter 'interact' is not known by ATL Transform.

I don't know why 'interact' is being fed into ATL?? I haven't messed with any of the other script files either. Attaching the script file in case that's needed.

Please help this poor schmuck!

Somewhere in the script.rpy you've redefined your m character to transform m, a-a-nd - got an error while trying to use m as a speaking character...

Code: Select all

    "The meadow blurs before as you're jerked backwards,
    passing through the darkened veil of the doorway."

    transform m:
        linear 3 zoom .1

    hide m
    with dissolve

    play sound "doorslam.mp3"

    scene bg door
    with fade

    "Your feet find the floor of that same strange hallway as the door you just
    flew out of slams in your face."

    "Intuiting that you may have just limited the options available to you, you
    give the knob of the freshly slammed door a firm jiggle."

    play sound "<to 1>lockedhall.mp3"

    "It's just as you suspected. {w} The door is now locked."

    $ door1open = "False"

    play sound "<to 1>hallwalk.mp3"

    scene bg sky

    show hall source:
        zoom .5
        truecenter

    jump door_menu
