When certain choices are viewable

[J. Datie]

Heres what i had to show you

Code: Select all

# The game starts here.
label start:
        menu begin_menu:
        "Prologue":
            jump Prologue_1
        "Act 1"  if act_1:
           jump Act_1:

I'm no Ren'Py expert, but I don't believe "menu" should have a name, and "jump" doesn't need a colon at the end of it. Also, everything that applies to the menu (or anything that ends with a colon) needs to be indented. Try this:

Code: Select all

# The game starts here.
label start:
        menu:
            "Prologue":
                jump Prologue_1
            "Act 1" if act_1:
               jump Act_1

Actually, menu can have an optional name.

Code: Select all

menu hello_world:
     "Hello":
           jump hello
     "World":
           jump world

and

Code: Select all

label hello_world:
menu:
     "Hello":
           jump hello
     "World":
           jump world

are equivalent. I've been de-emphasizing this sort of thing as of late, because it make learning Ren'Py a little more difficult. But it's there for people who want the convenience.

That still doesnt fix my problem T^T

The problem is indentation. This http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/ref ... _Structure should explain it.

As for errors you received:

Code: Select all

On line 32 of C:\Users\Alex Nguyen\Desktop\renpy-6.10.2\Goddess Selection/game/script.rpy: menu statement expects a non-empty block.
menu begin_menu:

On line 32 you starts a "menu begin_menu" block (the line ends with colon), so next lines should have additional spaces at the beginning to let Ren`py know that this lines are inside of this block. But in your example, there are no lines with additional spaces, so Ren`py thought that "menu begin_menu" block is empty and returned you an error message.

On lines 33 and 35 you tried to make menu choices, but because of indentation mistakes Ren`py doesn`t recognize it, and thought that you have missed the statements (like "show", "scene", "if", "jump" etc.)

Code: Select all

            "Prologue":

Got it fixed after doing what you said then indenting everything else x.x

mind if i post my problem here too? it's kinnda similar anyway...

From the start:
"Go with heroine 1"
"Go with heroine 2"

eg. I you select heroine 1 which offers you two choices:

"Really?"
"how about the heroine 2 ?"

hen you choose 2nd option (Which suggests you go with the other heroine). should i use call so that i'tll go back to first menu or should i jump directly to the label where you approach heroine 2?

do none
these kind of confirmation menus are annoying
unless you are trying to be funny, then it's okay

^ i'm just going to use it once, during the days where the player would feel indecisive about his girlfriend (h2)and opt to choose h1 instead... you know, the part where you select h1 and tells you to go with your gf instead (and you loose points for selecting h1 in these challenging times)...(trying to be funny too, and painful)

something like this:
