[SOLVED] Trouble with "IF, ELIF, ELSE" Conditions - Error in Syntax

[cubierocks]

Hi all!

Right now I'm having difficulty with correctly using the if,elif,else, conditional coding for my game. I've tried referring to tutorials, but I still can't seem to input the code correctly. Attached I have pictures of my error message, the coding it references, and the current coding I have listed.

What I'm trying to do is have a character mention their favorite lazy day food (which the user chooses), and then later in the game, depending on what they chose earlier, the character will wake up to the scent of their selected favorite lazy day food.

I've listed the variables, adjusted the true/false coding for each, but I still get a syntax error. This error is exacerbated if I adjust the colon next to the "elif,else" statements (hence the space between elif and else and the colon) - I'll get an EOF error with that.

How can I code my conditional statement correctly?

= is for assignment, not for equality. You nee to use == to compare two values. And a second one: you almost never want to write something == True, you just need to write if something:

with this image here remove label and remove the space and put it above label start: or on it's own file like init.rpy

I changed the placement of the variables, however, I'm still receiving the same message.

'Cause you still use single equal sign to check equality. Should be

Code: Select all

if Burger: # the same as if Burger == True:

Double equal signs result in an "unexpected EOF while parsing" message.
No equal sign (straight to colon) also results in the same error.

Also there is no condition in elif statement. You might want to fix that first and check if error persist.

Ah! That's what I was getting wrong. I just needed to go straight to 'if" statements. Thank you, it works fine now!
