Emote with styled text?

[recreation]

I'm trying to display a emote with styled text but always get a syntax error for (here) line 4:

Code: Select all

screen emote_m:
    timer 1.0 action Hide("emote_m")
    $ store.m +=1
    text ("+1 {image=emotes_m.png}", drop_shadow=(2, 2), style="emote_S"):
    	at emote_T
    	
transform emote_T:
    yalign 0.1 #  Top.
    xalign 0.8 #  Right. 
    on show:
        alpha 0.0
        linear 1.0 alpha 1.0
    on hide:
        linear 0.5 alpha 0.0
        
style emote_S:
    size 70
    color "#fff"
    
label start:
    show screen emote_m with dissolve

Changing the line to:

Code: Select all

    text "+1 {image=emotes_m.png}" style "emote_S":

doesn't work either but droping the style completely does.
How can I style this the right way?

try:

Code: Select all

    add Text("+1 ", style="emote_S"):
        at emote_T

You will need to workaround your drop_shadow thing as that is not a part of Ren'Py.
I'd suggest using 'outlines' in the style

Thanks it works!
Outlines will do, too.

your drop_shadow thing as that is not a part of Ren'Py.

This actually worked in a older game I made with renpy, but I used it a bit differently:

Code: Select all

show expression text("some text", drop_shadow=(somevalue)...

It's a text property.
