Annoying Error in ren'py

[Poli]

(I ask too many questions, sorry...)
I've tried to fix these indentation errors by doing almost EVERYTHING I know.

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 43: expected statement.
    bg room1 with fade
                      ^

File "game/script.rpy", line 45: Line is indented, but the preceding play music statement statement does not expect a block. Please check this line's indentation.
    e "..."
    ^

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.99.10.1227

here is my code.

Code: Select all

label story:
    bg room1 with fade
    play music "cricket.mp3" fadeout 2.0 fadein 7.0
        e "..."
        e "There's not much to do, so I'll just sleep."

Code: Select all

File "game/script.rpy", line 43: expected statement.
    bg room1 with fade
                      ^

You're missing the key word "show" on the second line.

Code: Select all

label story:
    show bg room1 with fade
    play music "cricket.mp3" fadeout 2.0 fadein 7.0
        e "..."
        e "There's not much to do, so I'll just sleep."

Another indentation error. It seems you aren't listening to the advice you've been given multiple times in other threads. If there is no : at the end of the line it does not require indentation.

Code: Select all

label story:
    bg room1 with fade
    play music "cricket.mp3" fadeout 2.0 fadein 7.0
    e "..."
    e "There's not much to do, so I'll just sleep."

Correct code for second error:

Code: Select all

label story:
    bg room1 with fade
    play music "cricket.mp3" fadeout 2.0 fadein 7.0
    e "..."
    e "There's not much to do, so I'll just sleep."

If there is no colon at the end of a statement, you do not need to indent any lines after that. If you have a colon at the end of a statement, such as 'menu:' or whatnot, then you will need to indent the lines after that.
