"Line is indented, but the preceding say statement statement does not expect a block" error code

[Vortex8th]

I've tried everything that came to my mind, but I simply don't understand what causes me to get error code after error code after error code. I think, up to this point, I had about 4 or 5 different errors with just the "$ gender" line. The "Line is indented, but the preceding one-line python statement statement does not expect a block" is where I am currently stuck. All i want to do is for Renpy to remember which gender the player picked, and play the right dialogue based on that decision. But for some reason, I just can't get it to work. It's probably really easy, and I'm just too stupid to make out what it is, but any help would be massively appreciated!

Code: Select all

menu:
      "Are you male?":
          
       $ gender1 = "male1"
        "Yes":
                jump name
            
        "No":
                jump gender
            
label Female:

menu:
      "Are you female?":
          
       $ gender1 = "female1"
        "Yes":
                jump name
            
        "No":
                jump gender

Both "Yes" are intended, they are not in the same column as $ gender1...

They are Indented but not correctly you must use TAB to Indent them the right way equally. Check your lines in code 40 and 52 by the eye you can see that they are not placed the right way.

Here is example of how it should look like:

Code: Select all

label start:
    "Game Starts"

menu:
    "Are you male?"
    "Yes":
        $ gender1 = "male1"
        jump name
            
    "No":
        jump gender

Side note.

I'd intent the entire menu one more level so that it is clear that it is part of the start label, like so:

Code: Select all

label start:
    "Game Starts"

    menu:
        "Are you male?"
        "Yes":
            $ gender1 = "male1"
            jump name
            
        "No":
            jump gender

Great, thank you guys, I got it to work! ^_^
And thanks for the tips, I'm still new to Renpy, so I defintely have to work a lot of things out about how the script has to look. c:

I know you've already gotten it working, but if you wanted to simplify it and make it look slightly less awkward, maybe just have one menu?

Code: Select all

 menu:
        "Are you a male or a female?"
        "Male":
            $ gender1 = "male1"
            jump name
            
        "Female":
            $ gender1 = "female1"
            jump name
