Hi all, I've a question.

[TT Snim]

Hi, I am new to this whole thing and I think I'm going to like it, if only I could figure it out. XD

I have a small script and I keep getting the same error. Mind you, I've had this program for all of two days, but I've read and re read the tuts and I stil have no idea what I am doing. *Falls over*

I get this message. . .

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


On line 13 of C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\renpy-6.0.0-full\renpy-6.0.0\TheLab/game/script.rpy: end of line expected.
j"Lets talk.":
^

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.0.0a


With this script. . .

init:

$ t = Character('TTSnim', color="#cc66cc")
$ j = Character('Joe', color="#66cc66")

label start:

t"Hay Joe!"
j"Hi there."
t"What do you want to do to day?"

menu:
j"Lets talk.":
jump talk

j"Lets play a game.":
jump game

label talk:
t"What would you like to talk about?"
j"you pick a topic."

label game:
t"What game should we play?"
j"Can we play a word game?"

t"That was fun!"

Before the real experts write something, I'd suggest having a space between the character and the spoken words.

Instead of:

Code: Select all

j"Hello!"

I'd write:

Code: Select all

j "Hello!"

That little arrowhead in the error log was pointing to that place.
Also, the indentation is important I think.

Code: Select all

j "Hello"

is not the same as

Code: Select all

     j "Hello"

I think

You're trying to include a Character object with a menu choice. While Ren'Py allows you to use Characters with the menu's caption, it does not with the actual choices. In order to fix it, just remove the 'j' from in front of the choices.

Code: Select all

"Lets talk.":
"Lets play a game.":

Changing your choices to those should work.
