(SOLVED) Why is adding more quotes fixing problems?

#1 Post by Settle for Pocky » Fri Oct 05, 2018 11:06 am

So on the left is the start of my code defining the characters and on the right is what is happening

https://midnightblueberry.tumblr.com/post/178760100466

but after, for example, add another quote to "68R"
so

-------------------

but adding an extra quote (3 in a row) fixes the rest of the code from 69-72
without

"64* She examines the camera like she’s trying to appraise for an auction."

"???" "65X \“A Tanon Double D, with a old Mixeon with a…200mm prime lens!?\""

"???" "66X \"Were you going to creep on some people with this camera...?\""

"67* \“No, no! I got that as a gift from my grandfather.
he used to work at a major nature magazine.\"”

"???" "68R \“Sure he did.\"”"

"69* \“I’m just looking to try and make some simple nature films
while I’m here.\”"

"70* \“Like documentaries without any words or editing.\”"

"71* I laugh awkwardly."

"72* \“Ha ha haha…ha.\"”

---------------------

Can someone tell me why this extra quote fixes this and how I should really fix the rest of the code?

thanks again,
Pat B.

I don’t know if this is just a “paste into the forum” thing or whether it’s in your original code, but you have a mix of “straight double quotes” (the ones you normally type on your keyboard, and which Ren’py recognizes) and “curly quotes” (the pretty ones that typesetters use).

(Look at quotes in the the code above carefully)

Maybe that’s part of the problem?

It does it without typing it different. I happens automatically for some reason

I figured it out. It was the order I was re-putting in the quotes.

Thanks again
