Using an if statement within an if statement?

[ShadowBoxGames]

Hello everyone, I'm new to renpy and am using the gui interface for my game in progress.
I wanted to create a cell phone mechanic in my game for the player to ask characters out on dates. The way I set it up is by using an imagemap since it seemed the best way.

However, I ran into trouble when coding the results of each option because I tried to use conditional statements within a conditional statement. Renpy won't work, claiming there is an indentation mismatch, but it seems no matter how I rearrange the indentation nothin works? Is there something else I'm missing here or is it really just a big screw up in indentation?

Here's the current code:

Code: Select all

call screen phone_all_contacts

$ result = _return

if result == "alyssa":
    
    n "Hey alyssa do you wanna hang out?"

       if alyssa_points >= 250:
             
    al "Absolutely, Nadine! Where did you have in mind?"
        
    menu:
        "The library":
            jump library_date_alyssa
        "The park":
            jump park_date_alyssa
        "Ice cream parlor":
            jump scoops_date_alyssa
        "The arcade":
            jump arcade_date_alyssa
        "The mall":
            jump mall_date_alyssa 

         elif alyssa_points >=250: 
    al "Sorry, Nadine. I'm busy right now. Maybe next time."

elif result == "Henry":
    n "Hey, Henry, do you want to hang out?" 

the code goes on for a few more characters, but I haven't set up anything but 1 line of dialogue for them like shown for Henry.

The alignment is really off. You need to align the if with each other to know what they're doing.

Code: Select all

    if result == "alyssa":        
        n "Hey alyssa do you wanna hang out?"
        if alyssa_points >= 250:
            al "Absolutely, Nadine! Where did you have in mind?"
            
            menu:
                "The library":
                    jump library_date_alyssa
                "The park":
                    jump park_date_alyssa
                "Ice cream parlor":
                    jump scoops_date_alyssa
                "The arcade":
                    jump arcade_date_alyssa
                "The mall":
                    jump mall_date_alyssa 
    
        elif alyssa_points >=250: 
            al "Sorry, Nadine. I'm busy right now. Maybe next time."
    
    elif result == "Henry":
        n "Hey, Henry, do you want to hang out?"

Also with the second if statement you're checking for the same condition.
<= Less than or equal
>= Greater than or equal

Something else to remember, as it'll trip you up as you get further in, is you want to close out a conditional statement with else, and not elif.

conditional statements are structured as

Code: Select all

if
elif
else

with else closing them out.

Okay, thank you so much. Yeah I meant to put in a < sign instead but must've mis-typed there.

Got it! Thank you so much!
