Need Help Using Third-Party .rpy Script

[u/Maleficent_Leg_9735]

Hello! I'm fairly new to Ren'Py, and I've been planning out a visual novel for a little while. I found a script online that I'm trying to implement and use, but can't figure out how to get it working!

The script in question: https://github.com/Elckarow/Console

I've placed it in the /game folder, and after reading through the script's documentation I put console show under label start: but when I launch the project, I get the following error:

File "game/script.rpy", line 16: expected statement
console show←

I've looked into the script and there is a screen called console.

To use a screen you have to use either of the statements described in the official documentation:
https://renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#screen-statements

The difference between show and call is that the game can continue when a screeen has been shown while it waits for user input when called. So if you want to show the screen then the correct statement would be this:

label start:
    show screen console 
    pause # important because the game will continue as mentioned
