Name not defined, though it is??

[kizovu]

Okay, so I threw all my script into Ren'py after typing it up in word. I edited where it needed to be edited, and then I tried to preview my game so I could see how it looks.

However, one of my names says it's not defined, even though it is? I re-defined it anyways, and it's still showing up with error, so...

My code looks like this:

Code: Select all

$ Blank = Character(_('   '), show_two_window=True, color="#fff")

And text in the game looks like:

Code: Select all

Blank "I assumed it was a dream, with how real it felt."
Blank "It was like I was put into the dream itself."

And the error I'm getting is:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 173, in script
    Blank "I assumed it was a dream, with how real it felt."
Exception: Sayer 'Blank' is not defined.

And I don't think the fact I left it empty with spaces, because I did the exact same thing in plenty of other games and it hasn't given me an issue.

Do you need to translate the name? If not, try dropping the first (_ from the line, see if it helps.

My guess is you're using renpy language, in a python chunk. But it's only a guess, I don't actually know.

Try define Blank = ... istead of what you have now.
