End of line expected error, plz help!

[sitdown411]

Hey guys,
I'm super new to Ren'Py. Creating a basic mystery detective game for a class I'm in. I followed a few tutorials and thought I was making a pretty basic game without any issues. However when I go to launch it just seems like error after error. Especially "end of line expected" on all of my menu choices. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Idk if theres a better way to post the code other than just copy and paste

# name of the character.

"Your a first year detective for the LAPD. You spent two years prior in the department as a police officer.
You make a decent living, have a girlfriend, and your new partner is one of your closest friends. You work 5
days a week and your two days off alternate. Life is simple. As an officer, you've never had anything crazy
happen. Some would say that's boring, but you just think it's lucky. The less action the better. After all it's
a dangerous job to have. But that all changed when the call came in. Different answers, areas, and clues will lead
to different information. Make smart choices and good luck."

D " Unit 62, unit 62, possible 187 in Meadow Ridge, compound 1682 Northridge, can you respond?"

"The car goes silent. You and your partner never imagined even hearing a possible homicide situation on the first
week."

handle this. We gotta stay sharp. The neighborhood is coming up."

in the state. And I'm guessing our victim is somebody important."

and plants everywhere, with a black gate, golden MR in the center. There's a security guard."

"The gate opens and you pull through. The houses are massive. There is a crowd of neighbors outside the house
an ambulance, and two squad cars. You step out of the vehicle and the officers brief you."

R "What's the situation officer."

O "Wife called this morning, said she came home with breakfast and found Mr. Johnson in the shower bleeding
from the head and unresponsive. Blood on the bath faucet, looking like he slipped. Paramedics pronounced
him dead upon arrival, severe head trauma."

who was passing by. There still giving their statements in the front entrance."

The code isn't arranged like that, I just copy and pasted it. Is there another way to post code that's more accurate?

You want to post code inside code brackets, like so:

Code: Select all

Your code goes here.

Posting in code brackets is important because white space and indents are vital for Python and RenPy code to work properly. So if your mistake is because of indents, no one will be able to tell unless you use code brackets.
