Ren'Py Trouble defining styles for characters in Ren'py. [SOLVED]

[Deleted member 5898897]

I'm attempting to change the text properties of a character's name using styles.



I then update my character string parameters to properly reflect those style changes:




Upon running the game, I receive this error:

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 6, in script
    define unknownDev = Character("Developer", color="#AFAFAF", style=characterTitles)
  File "game/script.rpy", line 6, in script
    define unknownDev = Character("Developer", color="#AFAFAF", style=characterTitles)
  File "game/script.rpy", line 6, in <module>
    define unknownDev = Character("Developer", color="#AFAFAF", style=characterTitles)
NameError: name 'characterTitles' is not defined

    define unknownDev = Character("Developer", color="#AFAFAF", style=characterTitles)

Do I need to define my style in the same script file as my defined characters? Is Ren'py loading script.rpy before screens.rpy, therefore trying to define my characters before my styles? Not quite sure what's going on here.

Managed to fix this. Made a simple, small mistake, that style property expected a string with the name of the style. Changing my parameter from

style=characterTitles

to

style="characterTitles"

fixed it!
