I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/script.rpy", line 111: expected menuitem

Please post the part where the error comes from!

Check your indentation. You most likely have something like this:

Code: Select all

menu:
    "Choice 1":
        jump choice1
    "Choice 2":
        jump choice2
    jump getclosetocat

Which should be:

Code: Select all

menu:
    "Choice 1":
        jump choice1
    "Choice 2":
        jump choice2
jump getclosetocat

I'm also new and am having a similar issue, I keep getting an "expected menuitem" error on a label and I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with it?

Code: Select all

menu identity:

   "I'm the new janitor.":
      jump option1_selected
   "I'm the new human mascot.":
      jump option2_selected
   label option1_selected:
      r "Sweet, can you clean my office for me? Mags keeps bugging me about it."
      l "No."
      r "What kind of janitor are you then?"
      hide roddy smug
      show black with dissolve
      jump option1_done
   label option2_selected:
      r "Ooo! Cool! Can you do a funny little dance for me? No matter how much I ask, Swerve always refuses."
      l "No."
      r "What kind of mascot are you then?"
      hide roddy smug
      show black with dissolve
      jump option2_done
   label option1_done:
   label option2_done:

    # This ends the game.

return 

Any idea on what I'm missing here?
