Help with points in the menu

[yierqi]

Hello, i'm trying to get points to work but i'm not sure if i'm doing this right. I'm sorry if it's very obvious, I'm fairly new to coding ;;;
I'm getting an exception for the following code in my game:

Code: Select all

    $ guy = 0
    $ dude = 0 

menu:
    "hey guy :D":
        $ guy += 10
        jump heyheyguy
    "hi dude":
    	$ dude += 10
        jump imgayeveryone

label heyheyguy:
    guy "hii"

here's the thing i get:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 131, in script
    guy "hii"
Exception: Sayer guy is not a function or string.

You are using 'guy' as a variable holding a integer value.

On the last line you are using 'guy' as a character.

Maybe you have a definition earlier in the code like this?

Code: Select all

define guy=Character("Guy")

Don't use the same name for different things. Rename your variable i.e. 'guy_points' so you have 'guy' for the character and 'guy_points' for the variable.
