Each indentation needs to be 4 spaces. Your indentations fluctuate between 2 spaces and 3 spaces - so it's probably what's causing the problem.

Are you using a text editor like Atom? Don't use programs like window's notepad as it has no built in programming features like auto indentation and markers to show indentations for ease.

I'm using Editra and thanks, I'll try adding a space so they're all 4 spaces

I've tried and it's still coming up with the same error message. I even deleted it and re-typed with a different indentation, but it's still saying the same. I don't know if I'm being really thick or what.

Can you show the code as it is now? Including the lines above 328

Correcting indentation means more than simply using four spaces. You should try to understand what a block of code is. For example, a menu is a block of code; a label is another. In your menu block, the options must be at the same indentation level otherwise that will generate an error.

Code: Select all

menu:
    "Push him off":
                
        jump neutralpath1
                  
    "Do nothing":
                
        jump falsepath2
                  
label wrong1:
                
    r "You have to, um... OH! You have to control your temper."
                
    t1 "Partly, but no. You weren't listening, were you? You're lucky you had Ella to help you. After class detention with me, %(player_name)s."
                
    "It was annoying how the teacher knew my name and that Ella had been helping me, but I guessed it was part of the job."
                
    "I shivered slightly in my chair, remembering how her forked tongue had flickered in and out, like a snake's."
                
    "Wait... Hadn't I seen her somewhere before?"
                
    "I didn't pay attention to the rest of the class, there was no point. I just laid my head down on my desk and waited for the bell to go."
                
    "It did and everybody else left the room, including Ella."
                
    show ella sad talk at right

Okay, thanks. I'll try that.

Thank you all, it really helps ^^ I do have another error now, but I should be able to solve it. Or not.
