Trouble Iterating Loop

[decocloud]

Hey there, I've got this loop for randomly picking out/displaying images in a folder but I can't get it to iterate without coming back with a "expected comma or end of line not found" on the $ i+= 1



My codeblock looks like:

Code: Select all

image mainmenumv = Movie(play = "images/mainmenuvid.ogv")
define spotlight_list = spotlight_shuffle()
$ i = 0
image mainmenubg:
    choice:
        spotlight_list[i % 100] with Dissolve(1.0, alpha=True)
        $ i += 1
        pause 1.5
    repeat

I think it's because you have a pause as part of your choice block, taking it back one indentation should fix it

Code: Select all

image mainmenumv = Movie(play = "images/mainmenuvid.ogv")
define spotlight_list = spotlight_shuffle()
$ i = 0
image mainmenubg:
    choice:
        spotlight_list[i % 100] with Dissolve(1.0, alpha=True)
        $ i += 1
    pause 1.5
    repeat

Oh good eye! Unfortunately I'm still getting the exact same error. My chief suspicion now is that my code editor is highlighting my injected statement as red so I'm wondering if its something syntax related?

ATL ≠ RenPy Script. It is another language. You can only use ATL statements in image definitions. Python statements are not part of ATL (with a good reasons), so you cannot do that.

AH that would make sense, thanks for the clarification. Back to the drawing board lol
