In-Game Messages Error?

#1 Post by 【Kirin-Chan】 » Thu Apr 21, 2016 7:39 am

So I've been trying to practice and learn how to do the in-game messages code and have stumbled on a bit of a problem. I'm a noob a coding so please bear with me.

I'm trying to change the button of when you receive new mail, I've tried:

Code: Select all

screen mailbox_overlay:
    hbox:
        xalign 1.0 yalign 0.0
        if new_message_count() > 0:
            imagemap:
                xalign 1.0 yalign 0.0
                ground "phone/p.png"
                hotspot (0,1,116,56) action Show("mailbox"):
                    use my_valuee(v=new_messages)
                    
                    else:
                        imagemap:
                            xalign 1.0 yalign 0.0
                            ground "phone/h.png"
                            hotspot (0,1,116,57) action Show("mailbox")
and this comes up,

Code: Select all

File "games/messages.rpy", line 119: u'else' is not a keyword argument or valid child for the screen statement
else -->
Any clue?

Else must be indented by the same amount of spaces as if, you cannot put whereever the heck you like.
