end line expected error made me crazy

[giuelz]

I'm pretty new in Ren'py.
I'm starting create a game: sometimes when I call a screen I get "end line expected error".
Sometimes not.

For Example;

Code: Select all

label mystudios:
    scene mystudiosoption
    u "done"
    call screen studiooption


screen studiooption():
    imagemap:
        ground "mystudiosoption"
        hotspot (34, 70, 297, 53) action Hide ("andreasitescreen"), Call ("andncc")
        
     

Here he give me error

here:

Code: Select all

    call screen andreasitescreen


screen andreasitescreen():
    imagemap:
        ground "001site"
        hotspot (34, 70, 297, 53) action Hide ("andreasitescreen"), Call ("andncc")
         

no error

If you need to set several actions, put them in square brackets, like

Code: Select all

hotspot (34, 70, 297, 53) action [Hide ("andreasitescreen"), Call ("andncc")]

If that doesn't solve the issue, provide the exact error message you'll get.

this is the error

Code: Select all

Check for any unseen characters at the end of this line (this might happen if you've copy/pasted the code line).

I don't know. I tried everything. That's crazy

Hmm... never called a screen before, so I can't help much with explaining this, but I can at least provide alternate ideas that may at least allow this to function? I've only ever used a "show screen" statement in my projects, never "call screen". Not sure what the difference is or if one has clear benefits over the other, but that's one way to try it. If you require the ability to return from the screen, you could also stick it under a label and call that label. That's the way I personally handle all calls. I do:

call [label_name]

and then for the setup, I would have

label [label_name]
show screen [screen_name]

and of course the screen itself defined after that.

The problem when I use "Show" is that the script continue in the background. I don't know how to stop it.
I told I'm a newbie in renpy

Use "pause" to stop the script from continuing. I should have noted that.

[giuelz]

I know but...
if I do as you said:

Code: Select all

label ufficio:
    scene ufficio01
    u "done!"
    show screen ufficioscreen
    pause
    

Code: Select all

This leads me to suspect there's something wrong in the code for the screen itself. Can you show the code of screen ufficioscreen?

[Crazy Li]

As an example, this is some code from one of my games setting up a shopping screen...

Code: Select all

label shopBuy:
    window hide
    show screen buy
    pause
    screen buy:
        #rest of the code for the screen itself

and then when I want to send the player to the store, I use "call shopBuy" and it works fine for me.
