"Expected Statement" Error [Solved]

[Broodelin]

(Leading up to Line 181)

Code: Select all

menu:
    
    "Could you calm her down before I get kicked out?":
    
        $ hospital_points += 1
        
        $ n1choice = "calmdown"
        
        "Christian looked a little surprised at your bluntness."
        
        ch "Uh... sure. No problem, grandma. Just give me a minute.
            
        Alright, Emma, remember what I taught you about your inside voice?"
        
        e "YEAH! I SHOULD BE QUIETER WHEN I'M INSIDE 'CAUSE THERE'S LESS ROOM FOR MY VOICE!" with sshake
        
        ch "How about we try that right now? I'm sure your nana would like that very much."
        
        e "Okie-dokie, daddy."
        
        m "{i}It's kind of amazing how big of lungs that little girl's got in her.{/i}"
        
        e "Nana...
           Are you going to be out of the hospital soon?"
        
        "I'll be out soon. Don't worry!":
                "Emma smiled a little at you, but you couldn't be sure if she really believed you or not."

That was the first error (plus the lines leading up to it).

Here's what I got from errors.txt

I didn't post the rest of the code as I think this is all caused by the same coding error.

If it helps, I'm trying to do "nested" choices (as in choices that result from other choices).

I'm really new at Ren'Py coding, so any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.

To include choices in a game you need a menu.

EDIT: Oh, misread that you had a menu in there. If you want nested choices inside that, you need another menu.

Code: Select all

menu:
    "A":
        menu:
            "A1":
                "You picked choice A1"
            "A2":
                "You picked choice A2"
    "B":
        menu:
            "B1":
                "You picked choice B1"
            "B2":
                "You picked choice B2"

It looks like your tabbing is out on the second choice. They should all line up.

Unless by nested choiced you mean that choice is only available after this one, in that case your best bet is to use a jump and a second menu.

Code: Select all

            "Nana...
            Are you going to be out of the hospital soon?"
            jump calm

label calm:
    menu:
        "I'll be out soon. Don't worry!":
            "Emma smiled a little at you, but you couldn't be sure if she really believed you or not."

Best idea might be to put the whole result from the choice in the label to keep the menu as tidy and readable as possible, but hopefully with this example you get the idea. :3

Thanks to the both of you! It seems like I ended up doing this the hard way, huh?

It's working fine now.
