Ok so... I was making a game and then this popped up, after copying the text from the tutorials.
Code: Select all
I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.
File "game/script.rpy", line 55: expected menuitem
label choice1_yes:
^
Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.99.14.3.3347
Tue May 29 18:17:49 2018
So then I just rewrite the code. This is the code:
Code: Select all
menu:
"Yes.":
jump choice1_yes
"No.":
jump choice1_no
label choice1_yes:
$ menu_flag = True
b "Hey! You OK? You ran off when he shoited at you."
a "Yeah Im OK now. A bit shaken up, but better."
b "Sounds like you have been crying. You good?"
a "Yeah. Really I am. Can I have some time by myself?"
b "Sure."
jump choice1_done
label choice1_no:
$ menu_flag = False
"I dont want to talk with anyone right now."
jump choice1_done:
label choice1_done:
"The call ends."
What have I done wrong? (BTW The code is separated, its just how it copied it out!)

Can you wrap your code in a [code] block so we can see your indentation?

Seems indentation is wrong from "label choice1_yes" on:
Code: Select all
menu:
"Yes.":
jump choice1_yes
"No.":
jump choice1_no
label choice1_yes:
$ menu_flag = True
b "Hey! You OK? You ran off when he shoited at you."
a "Yeah Im OK now. A bit shaken up, but better."
b "Sounds like you have been crying. You good?"
a "Yeah. Really I am. Can I have some time by myself?"
b "Sure."
jump choice1_done
label choice1_no:
$ menu_flag = False
"I dont want to talk with anyone right now."
jump choice1_done:
label choice1_done:
"The call ends."

I don't really understand what this means. If you can, could you please give me the fixed version? Or is that the fixed version? Thanks!

That is the fixed version. Note how far right the code is from this line onwards between yours and thebackup's

..I have another problem. I'm stupid.
Code: Select all
I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.
File "game/script.rpy", line 77: end of line expected.
jump choice1_done:
^
Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.99.14.3.3347
Tue May 29 19:38:20 2018
Here is the original code:
Code: Select all
label choice1_no:
$ menu_flag = False
"I don't want to talk to anyone right now."
jump choice1_done:
label choice1_done:
"The call ends."
"You start to cry, just to let out your sadness. You receive another call. From Jackson, once again."
Help please?

You don't need the colon at the end of the line:
Not
Syntax are really important in any programming language, so when you see an error like that, check the line (sometimes before and after) and rethink if it's the way it should be written. If you practice that you'll learn to be able to fix your code more easily in the future

Why is a menu outside a label?
