Expected statement problem

[acsh]

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/script.rpy", line 42: expected statement.
    e “Hello there, thank you for calling in. What’s your name?”
                  ^

File "game/script.rpy", line 46: expected statement.
    k “…Kurt.”
            ^

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.99.8.959

I've puzzled upon this much longer than I should??? The "^" comes out as a red arrow and I have it all over my dialogue T.T" Would be eternally grateful for some help for this coding nub! ;'o

It looks something like this along with the statement text:

"I take up the headset."

e “Hello there, thank you for calling in. What’s your name?”

So they're all indented to the same extent.

I'll take a punt at this because I seem to recall reading this somewhere that you can't use left and right double quotes around your text: “ and ”

You should be using the vertical types: "

I got some kind of traceback error instead Do you think it'd be worth posting that up here? (Thanks for trying to help though!)

[acsh]

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Iylae is right. Ren'Py and Python only accept "" or ''. As for the traceback, try updating your Ren'Py to the latest version.

Oh my gosh, it works now! *cries an ocean of joy* Thank you so much, and to Iylae as well! :'D You guys saved me! *flops* I kinda wonder what causes this though, hmm!
