[Theory-box]

This is my first time writing a renpy game, and I'm still learning the basics but dialogue is pretty straightforward and easy. But for some reason every piece of written dialogue has failed, so I just have a screen that says "Parsing the script failed."

The Renpy wiki is absolutely no help, as this seems to be some weird problem with the punctuation marks. I can't seem to find the answer anywhere else, either.

This is an example of some of the dialogue:

r “Well, I guess I just got kicked out of class for sleeping.”

r “But hey, whatever.”

r “O-oh crap..”

But all that the error report gives me is this:

File "game/script.rpy", line 38: expected statement.
r “Well, I guess I just got kicked out of class for sleeping.”
^

File "game/script.rpy", line 40: expected statement.
r “But hey, whatever.”
^

File "game/script.rpy", line 42: expected statement.
r “O-oh crap..”
^

Could you post all of your code in-between the code tags so we can see what might be going on? There may well be problems going on before you get the dialogue that are causing those errors.

Could it be that you defined no character to be called r? Or maybe you used "non-standard" quotation marks?

Otherwise, yes, we need more than your dialogue.
