Totally Nooby Question

First time poster here, and let me tell ya. I suck. Bad. I've followed some instructions and still managed to mess it up. Simple stuff.
The lines of code are as follows and the issue after that. I've tried to define just two things...

Code: Select all

# The script of the game goes in this file.

# Declare characters used by this game. The color argument colorizes the
# name of the character.

define e = Character("Eileen")


# The game starts here.
Define c = character(_("Chadwick"), color="#ccffcc")
Define l = character(_("Lonnie"), color="#ffcccc")

label start:

"l" "Tesing testing."

"c" "Why?"

"define" is a Renpy keyword, and it's match case, so "Define" won't work.

Also, you should indent you code (4 spaces to the right) when creating a new block.
I'm almost sure it will work in this case if you don't indent, but it won't work in anything except label declarations (never understood why), so you should get used to it.

Code: Select all

label block1:
    "Char1" "I'm talking."
    "Char1" "Yay."
label block2:
    "This is another block."

EDIT:

Also, "Character", not "character". I know it can be confusing, but Character is not a keyword, it is a class, hence the capital letter.

it should look like this

Code: Select all

# The script of the game goes in this file.

# Declare characters used by this game. The color argument colorizes the
# name of the character.

define e = Character("Eileen")
define c = character(_("Chadwick"), color="#ccffcc")
define l = character(_("Lonnie"), color="#ffcccc")


# The game starts here.

label start:

     "l" "Tesing testing."

     "c" "Why?"

I have another proposal...

it should look like this

Code: Select all

# The script of the game goes in this file.

# Declare characters used by this game. The color argument colorizes the
# name of the character.

define e = Character("Eileen")
define c = Character(_("Chadwick"), color="#ccffcc") ## no capital for define, capital C for Character definition
define l = Character(_("Lonnie"), color="#ffcccc") ## no capital for define, capital C for Character definition


# The game starts here.

label start:

     l "Tesing testing."  ## no quotes for the character name (quotes are for "anonymous"/undefined characters

     c "Why?"  ## same here

Right, right. Capitalization. Thanks, everyone.
