Indentaion issues?

[ninethousandpotatoes]

This is my first time making a game with ren'py, and I don't know how to fix this.

Code: Select all

scene about_to_leave
    t "Okay, class will end in five minutes, please pack your things."
        "You pass your note to Kiki hastily." if selection == "kiki_noteg":
        "You pass your note to Puki hastily." if selection == "puki_noteg":
        "You pass your note to Naname hastily." if selection == "naname_noteg":
        "You pass your note to Hiro hastiy." if selection == "hiro_noteg":
        "You pass your note to Ameko hastily." if selection == "ameko_noteg":
        "You pass your note to Irashi hastily." if selection == "irashi_noteg":

Change it to the following (etc.)

Code: Select all

scene about_to_leave
    t "Okay, class will end in five minutes, please pack your things."
        if selection == "kiki_noteg":
            "You pass your note to Kiki hastily." if selection == "kiki_noteg":

I think I fixed it, but it's still not working right.

Code: Select all

scene about_to_leave
    t "Okay, class will end in five minutes, please pack your things."
        if selection == "kiki_noteg":
            "You pass your note to Kiki hastily." if selection == "kiki_noteg":
        if selection == "puki_noteg":
            "You pass your note to Puki hastily." if selection == "puki_noteg":
        if selection == "naname_noteg":
            "You pass your note to Naname hastily." if selection == "naname_noteg":
        if selection == "hiro_noteg":
            "You pass your note to Hiro hastiy." if selection == "hiro_noteg":
        if selection == "ameko_noteg":
            "You pass your note to Ameko hastily." if selection == "ameko_noteg":
        if selection == "irashi_noteg":
            "You pass your note to Irashi hastily." if selection == "irashi_noteg":

When you write the new block of code(for example, in 'if' statement or 'label' statement) you should add indentation. In other cases it will cause the error. Well, maybe I've written something unclear, because my english is bad, so, if someone have seen any mistakes in my message, please tell about it Try this code:

Code: Select all

scene about_to_leave
t "Okay, class will end in five minutes, please pack your things."
if selection == "kiki_noteg":
    "You pass your note to Kiki hastily."
if selection == "puki_noteg":
    "You pass your note to Puki hastily."
if selection == "naname_noteg":
    "You pass your note to Naname hastily."
if selection == "hiro_noteg":
    "You pass your note to Hiro hastiy."
if selection == "ameko_noteg":
    "You pass your note to Ameko hastily."
if selection == "irashi_noteg":
    "You pass your note to Irashi hastily."

I did that and then this error message came up

Did you try Yuuji's code? Follow Yuuji's example and everything should work fine. Also, in my opinion, only one of those lines should display, right? Then, maybe you should modify Yuuji's code as this:

Code: Select all

scene about_to_leave
t "Okay, class will end in five minutes, please pack your things."
if selection == "kiki_noteg":
    "You pass your note to Kiki hastily."
elif selection == "puki_noteg":
    "You pass your note to Puki hastily."
elif selection == "naname_noteg":
    "You pass your note to Naname hastily."
elif selection == "hiro_noteg":
    "You pass your note to Hiro hastily."
elif selection == "ameko_noteg":
    "You pass your note to Ameko hastily."
elif selection == "irashi_noteg":
    "You pass your note to Irashi hastily."

[Yuuji]

Can you give me more of your code? Maybe you somewhere did a mistake. This code works:

Code: Select all

label start:
    scene bg1 #this is just sample background
    "Okay, class will end in five minutes, please pack your things."
    "You pass your note to Kiki hastily." 
    $selection = "puki_noteg" #'selection' should be initialized before using
    if selection == "kiki_noteg": 
        e "You pass your note to Puki hastily." 
    if selection == "puki_noteg": 
        e "You pass your note to Naname hastily." 
    if selection == "naname_noteg": 
        e "You pass your note to Hiro hastiy." 
    if selection == "hiro_noteg": 
        e "You pass your note to Ameko hastily."

Then, maybe you should modify Yuuji's code as this:

Yeah, you code is more optimizied, so it'd be better to use it.

[philat]

My bad, I meant to delete the if statement coming at the end of the line and forgot to.

Just to be perfectly explicit, use the if statement followed by a colon, line break, indent, and then DON'T repeat the if statement at the end of the dialogue string. Or, you know, copy/paste.

I don't think it really makes a difference whether you use elif vs. if in this context -- as the variable 'selection' can only be one thing at a time.

[shivanshs9]

Hmm... Yuuji, your code's kinda confusing:

Code: Select all

label start:
    scene bg1 #this is just sample background
    "Okay, class will end in five minutes, please pack your things."

    "You pass your note to Kiki hastily."  # <- This line means that it will always display, no matter what
    $selection = "puki_noteg" #'selection' should be initialized before using
    # I think selection is already defined in a previous menu(my guess), so aren't you overwriting the value?

    if selection == "kiki_noteg": 
        e "You pass your note to Puki hastily." 
    if selection == "puki_noteg": 
        e "You pass your note to Naname hastily." 
    if selection == "naname_noteg": 
        e "You pass your note to Hiro hastiy." 
    if selection == "hiro_noteg": 
        e "You pass your note to Ameko hastily." 

I don't think you should find too much mistakes in your code, since your previous posted code was fine and had no errors... Just relax and think of the ways the questioner could have gone wrong, instead of saying "my code must be the culprit here!" This advice can help long way into the future!

Okay, thanks for advice I had to test my code so I've overwritten the variable. I've just posted code that works for me.
