help! simple problem

[birdybirdnerd]

i just started using renpy and python to code a visual novel, and ive already run into a problem. i know its probably super easy to fix, but im struggling and its embarrassing. ive actually run into a few while trying to run what i have so far, but ill start with the top one so i can see what the others are as they get fixed

python:
name = renpy.input("What's your name?")

name = name.strip() or "You"

d "Oh, [name], what a wonderful name! I'm Domrick, by the way."

i have this, but every time i try to run it, im told that the last line there has 'invalid syntax'. what does that mean, and how can i fix it?

thank you so much for anyone who can helpl! im super frustrated i got defeated so easily, but ive never coded anything before and its all new to me

EDIT: okay for some reason it didnt indent where i indented, but the three lines after 'python' are in fact indented, though just once. in case thats relevant

[Per K Grok]

The dialogue line should not be part of the python block.

Code: Select all

python:
      name = renpy.input("What's your name?")
      name = name.strip() or "You"

d "Oh, [name], what a wonderful name! I'm Domrick, by the way."

THERE it goes. i had the indentations all messed up apparently. it runs now! thank you so much! ill probably be back after i write some more and come across another problem, but for now: thank you!!!!
