Problem with making choices menu

[AlanoodSulaiman]

So I followed this post and copied exactly what's written for a choices menu viewtopic.php?p=407032#p407032 yet it tells me there's an error

Code: Select all

File "game/script.rpy", line 919: menu statement expects a non-empty block.
    menu:
        ^

File "game/script.rpy", line 920: expected statement.
    "Show toy":
              ^

File "game/script.rpy", line 922: expected statement.
    "be cool":
             ^

I know lots of people asked this question before, but I tried the solutions provided for them and it didn't work for me.
Sorry but I really lack the knowloedge on this.

Can you post your code block (everything in the block leading up to line 919 and a few lines after) for us to see? My guess is that you've got wrong indentations.

Thank you. I already tried an another formula.

Code: Select all

scene white room
                    show Tairin looking at non-functioning SX
                    Tairin "How could they do such a thing to an innocent being?!"
                    show Tairin leaving angrily
                    Tairin "I'm not staying here!"
                    "Tairing keeps crying out loud."
                    "You losed me as an ally! I'm never following hideous monsters and consedring them my masters!"
                    scene black
 
    menu:
                "He felt his blood was boiling":
                    scene black background
                    show black color
                    
                    "Where am I?"
                    "Did I survive the operation?"
                    "Aviat woke up after he felt that several minutes passed."
                    
                       "He felt his blood was freezing":
                    "Aviat waked up surrounded with blue ights."
                    "As if he was newborn."
                    Aviat "Hello ladies and gentlemen."
                    Tairin "What happened to you?"
                    Aviat "I was teleported here, I assume."
        

This is an another code I tried, but now it tells me "indentation mismatch"

[Imperf3kt]

Indentation is four spaces per block. When the block ends, you remove the four spaces.
Blocks can stack.

labels go at the very left of the text editor. Everything after the : is part of that block. Anywhere you put a new :, expects a new block.

An indentation mismatch, means a block is in the wrong place. Perhaps 5 spaces or 10.

In your case, your label has far more than four spaces for the next block, try moving all script dialogue so it is spaced four spacebar presses from thevleft of the document.

re-indented them all
now it tells me this:

Code: Select all

File "game/script.rpy", line 18: choice menuitem expects a non-empty block.
    "He felt his blood was boiling":
                                    ^

I googled this problem, and eveyone says I must add the ":" in the end of my choice, I did it though but seems it's not working.
Thank you again.

Check the "How does indentation work? What are blocks?" paragraph here - https://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/FAQ (it is near the bottom of content) to see the graphical explanation.

Thank you! I fixed it :')
