expected statement error

Hello. I'm running into this error and I don't understand where the problem is.
Code: Select all
label transition_label:
if screen_on:
linear 1.0 screen_x 1.0
linear 1.0 screen_x 1.0
$ screen_on= False
else:
linear 1.0 screen_x 0.0
linear 1.0 screen_x 0.0
$ screen_on= True
return
The role of the label is to change position of a screen so that I have a smooth transition.
But when I run the code it tells me
Code: Select all
File "game/script - sprites.rpy", line 118: expected statement.
linear 1.0 screen_x 1.0
^
File "game/script - sprites.rpy", line 119: expected statement.
linear 1.0 screen_x 1.0
^
File "game/script - sprites.rpy", line 122: expected statement.
linear 1.0 screen_x 0.0
^
File "game/script - sprites.rpy", line 123: expected statement.
linear 1.0 screen_x 0.0
^
Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.99.12.4.2187
I don't understand what the problem is. Is it not posible to use linear on custom variables?

Though you could *possibly* utilize AnimatedValue to linearly adjust the value over time, I am pretty sure there are other, simpler ways to accomplish what you want.
If you are just applying a transform when showing or hiding the screen, perhaps the on show: and on hide: event blocks within an ATL would be best.
What are you trying to do?

I have a button that I want to change whether information is shown or not.
The transition label has the role of transitioning the information on and off screen. The information is a separate screen. The x and y aligns are at 0.0 so by changing the anchors I figured the screen would move in and out.
Is there a better way of doing this?
How do show and hide events work?

This code has no meaning in renpy. Actually, renpy label code is different from renpy screen code and from renpy ATL code.
"linear" is used inside ATL code (when defining transforms or in show block). In your code I assume that "screen_x" is a variable you have defined somewhere and you want "linear" to change the value of that variable, "linear" can't be used for that.
You can, on the other hand, define transforms that accept arguments, and show the main elements of a screen with that transform.

Yeah. I looked into the transforms and I defined moveinleft and moveoutleft. They work fine.
Thanks

An example of what I was saying:
Code: Select all
label start:
scene black
show screen test
"bla"
show screen test(1.0)
"bla2"
show screen test(0.5)
"bla3"
hide screen test
"bla4"
return
transform my_t(x):
linear 1.0 xalign x
screen test(x=0.0):
frame:
at my_t(x)
label "Hello world!"
You can show a screen that is already showed, and the new values pass to the transform, that adjusts (with "linear") to the new position.
