[SOLVED]Dynamic Generating Grid

[WhisperedLullaby]

I'm currently learning Ren'Py so please excuse me if this is not a great question.

I'm making a custom screen to display something. What it is, isn't really that important as I'm just 'playing' around, but I seem to be doing something incorrectly.

I want to create a grid inside a frame that dynamically generates. What I have so far is this:

Code: Select all

screen ok_collected: 
    tag menu

    add Movie(size=(1920, 1080))
    on "show" action Play("movie", "movies/bg_static.webm", loop=True)
    on "hide" action Stop("movie")
    on "replace" action Play("movie", "movies/bg_static.webm", loop=True)
    on "replaced" action Stop("movie")

    frame: 
        style "collected_frame"
        xpadding 100
        ypadding 100
        xalign 0.5
        yalign 0.5
        
        
        $ i = 0
        $ x = 24
        $ yGrid = x / 6
        grid 6 yGrid spacing 100:
            while $ i > $ x:
                imagebutton auto "images/button_%s.png" focus_mask None action ShowMenu('load')
                $ i += 1



    textbutton _("Return"):
        style "return_button"

        action Return()

style collected_frame:
    background Frame("images/frame_bg.jpg")

Manually placing the 24 buttons in, of course, works however when using this code it gives me 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/collected.rpy", line 22: u'while' is not a keyword argument or valid child for the grid statement.
    while $ i > $ x:
         ^

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.99.13.2919

Fundamentally I must have something wrong, but I can't seem to find anything in the documentation or in the cookbook links here on the forums. Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.

The error message is telling you. While is not a valid statement in screen language. You also shouldn't include the $ sign in the statement. $ sign means the LINE is a python statement.

Code: Select all

        default i = 0
        default x = 24
        default yGrid = x / 6
        grid 6 yGrid spacing 100:
            for i in range(x):
                imagebutton auto "images/button_%s.png" focus_mask None action ShowMenu('load')

Thank you so much! This helped with understanding the syntax a lot. I appreciate the help!
