First of all, yes, I've only been using Ren'Py since yesterday, so I'm still a starter in this.

I've been trying to adapt a book I wrote sometime ago into a multi-path VN. Thanks to the great tutorial, it was all going pretty good and easy to script - Until now.

I'd be grateful if someone could help me, cheers

Hi it would be easier to see what is wrong if you put the code into a "code" block instead of a "quote" block.
From what it sounds like its an error with indenting and as quote blocks ddestroy the indenting (code does not), its hard to see where the problem comes from
