"Episode One.":

When it says:
choice menuitem expects a non-empty block
... they're telling you that you can't leave it that block empty. ^^ But, since you have a jump statement in that block, I think the main problem is because the labels you jumped to didn't have any colons.

Sooo... Instead of:
label one
label two
label three

add colon's at the end. Like:
label one:
label two:
label three:

... Then it should work correctly. :D

[EvilDragon]

Ah, so you like my tv-static cookbok recipe? Nice, nice

And yeah, you forgot the colons there ^^

[PyTom]

You also need to indent the jump lines. Those are what causes the empty block error.

[josh]

Pardon me for Asking, but...
I added the Colons, but i still get the error:
On line 94 of /home/joshua/Yotsuba&!_Ep1/game/script.rpy: choice menuitem expects a non-empty block.
"Episode One.":
^

How do i Fix that? How do I indent the jump lines?

[akemicchi]

Oh, I didn't notice the lines were misaligned. xD;

Code: Select all

    "Episode One.":

        jump one

    "Episode Two.":

         jump two
   
    "Episode Three.":
   
         jump three
   
    "Episode Four.":
   
        jump four

That should work. The indentations are really important; each indentation is 4 spaces. You can read more about it here.

[josh]

Oh yay! it works! Thanks so much!

[honoreixix]

i'll put this question here since it's about the main menu...

is it possible for me to add extra menu button whenever an event has been finished?

example, after playing the game once, there will be a new menu button labeled prologue; or after completing the routes/endings, there is another button that will appear which will then start a continuation of the main route(kind of like Clannad's after story...

[EvilDragon]

I already suggested PyTom this idea, it will be implemented in the new Ren'py release. Basically, a new tuple component will be added in config.main_menu and config.game_menu (maybe), that will be practically the same as the 3rd one (that one decides if the button will be selectable or insensitive), except that this new tuple component will check if the expression is true, and if it is, a new button will show up.

Theoretically, you can do something like this with ui widgets and persistent variables, but it's whole lotta work.

[000]

mmm, maybe, if you would create two different main menus, do a custom main menu and under that execute by usual means one of that two depending on persistent variables results, that would do the trick.
