Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.99.8.959


I've been on the forums the past day or so looking for answers to these, so I'm fairly sure this is an indentation problem. But I've tried so, so very many variations of where I'm putting things and I'm still getting variations of these same errors. Here is my code:

Code: Select all

# You can place the script of your game in this file.

# Declare images below this line, using the image statement.
# eg. image eileen happy = "eileen_happy.png"

image bg test = "background test.jpg"
image officer test = "test char officer.png"
image questioning = "interrogation room.png"
image oldlady = "old lady.png"
image oldsad = "old lady down.png"

# Declare characters used by this game.
##define Old = Character('Old Lady Witness', color="#c8ffc8")
define Ada = DynamicCharacter("OLW", who_color="#e794fd") #who_colour sets colour for character's name in this instance
#variable is OldLadyWitness but does not mean anything until called. Here I am using it to say 'Old Lady Witness' until the witness identifies herself as Ada, at which point her name will display as Ada.

# The game starts here.
label start:
    scene bg test
    show officer test
    $ OLW = "Old Lady Witness"
    #Dynamic character 'OLW'  has been set.
    
    "Public place. Middle of the day."
    "You'd think this would be an easy case to solve."
    "Who should I speak to?"
    
        menu:
            "I think I'll speak to the old woman.":
                jump questioning
    
    label questioning:
    show oldlady
    
    "This interview is being recorded by Inspector Name. Ma'am, can you confirm your name and age for the recording please?"
    Ada "Ada Clarke, 64."
    #this is where Old Lady Witness becomes Ada in the text box
    $ OLW = "Ada"
    "Thank-you. Interview commencing 5.55pm, staff room at Fairview Shopping Centre. Now, why don't we start with you telling me where you were at the time of the incident?"
    Ada "Well, I was in the food court, I think..."
    "You think?"
    #the colour tag below can be used for expressing character actions
    "{color=#40f294}The lady shifts uncomfortably{/color}"
    show oldsad with dissolve
    Ada "Yes. I have problems with my memory, you see."
    
return

Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? :/ All I'm trying to do is make a screen that's like "choice person 1", "choice person 2" etc, then when the player clicks "choice person 1", the game will go to a screen with the old lady/person 1 in it. Once I get the old lady working I hope I can then add more character screens using the same method.

Please don't bite! Very new to Ren'py + very very beginner python in general.

Thanks for your help in advance!

GAH. Always something that should be obvious isn't it? xD

[Edit nvm I fixed the extra problem!]

Thank you xD

It's good practice to post another thread, unless it's related to the thread title "Indentation issues?!"

See above x) but duly noted for when I inevitably run into problems again x)

Thanks very much :3
