[KyraNarwhals]

It says I have an indentation mismatch and I’m so confused, here are the pictures.

(Links to pictures due to it being too big to just put the image here)

Please tell me what I did wrong and how to fix it ^^

Thanks!

maybe you need to make a jump label to that line 57, for continues label Like.
And make the line straight for line indention.

Code: Select all

"Draw a girl dancing":
      $ Drawing2 = "Dancing"
      "Blah blah"
      jump continue1 <---- this is what i use commonly.

label continue1:
    "blah blah"

So the code keeps coming down here..

Your indentation looks incorrect all over. Refer to the documentation for a proper example.
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/language ... and-blocks

Code: Select all

 
label correct:
    "some dialogue" 
    return
    
label incorrect:
"some dialogue"
return

Line 52 and 56 are indented by one space too many. I think... Pictures are hard to count invisible spaces on. Code tag wrapped text is much preferred.
Use [co de][co de], without the spaces.

Line 57 has nothing 'wrong' with it, but the error is carrying over from the prior line error (on 52 or 56)

Hi, KyraNarwhals. When showing us a script, you can use one of the following methods:
1- Using your text editor, highlight the part of the script you want to show and copy it. When posting, on the window header under the subject field you will see several buttons. Click on the </> button to add the code tags to your post. Click between the code tags that were added to your post and paste your script there.
2 - If the script you are wanting to show is too big, then compress it to a zip file and load it as an attachment to your post.
This way, someone can test the script and/or make the modifications needed.

That said, check your script for indentation consistency. Use only four spaces when indenting. Avoid single spaces when starting a line.

I’ll grab that when I get home today, though that document you sent makes no sense to me.

[Sunlit-Dreamer]

The answer is actually very simple. You've added unnecessary spaces to the narrated lines.

Example:

Right

Code: Select all

"Blah blah blah."

m "Blahdy blah."

Wrong

Code: Select all

 "Blah blah blah."
 
m "Blahdy blah."

You want your code to "line up" in straight lines whenever you indent.

Here, I fixed it up for you.

Thank you so much! That solved the issue!

[Imperf3kt]

You should consider indenting everything one further time.
The only thing that goes all the way to the left should be your labels. Everything inside of those is part of a new block so should not be on the same line.

Code: Select all

 
label correct:
    "some dialogue" 
    return
    
label incorrect:
"some dialogue"
return

I’m very confused what you mean, I’ve never seen the return thing in my research.

[Imperf3kt]

return is what ends your game or returns to a label you previously "called" from.
It is irrelevant to indentation.

This is also explained, albeit briefly, in every new script.rpy file Ren'Py creates.

Be careful not to confuse it with Return() or _return
