age prompt

[computerwhiz10101010]

i made this age prompt, but the game doesn't run! why?

Code: Select all

# The script of the game goes in this file.

# Declare characters used by this game. The color argument colorizes the
# name of the character.

define e = Character("Eileen")

# The game starts here.

label start:
    "Welcome to My Awesome Game!"
    call age_verification_prompt

    # Show a background. This uses a placeholder by default, but you can
    # add a file (named either "bg room.png" or "bg room.jpg") to the
    # images directory to show it.

    scene bg room

    # This shows a character sprite. A placeholder is used, but you can
    # replace it by adding a file named "eileen happy.png" to the images
    # directory.

    show eileen happy

    # These display lines of dialogue.

    e "You've created a new Ren'Py game."

    e "Once you add a story, pictures, and music, you can release it to the world!"

    # This ends the game.

    return

label age_verification_prompt:
    $ age_prompt = False  # Initialize the variable to False initially

    menu:
        "Are you 18 years old or older?":
            "Yes":
                $ age_prompt = True  # Set the variable to True if the user selects "Yes"
            "No":
                $ age_prompt = False  # Keep the variable as False if the user selects "No"

    if age_prompt:
        return  # Continue with the game if age_prompt is True
    else:
        "Sorry, you must be 18 or older to play this game."
        "Goodbye!"
        return  # Exit the game

There's just a syntax error in label age_verification_prompt.
Check this line:

Code: Select all

"Are you 18 years old or older?": # <- indicates to be a menu item, just delete the : it and it should work.

I would also recommend to default the age_prompt var outside of a label like:

Code: Select all

default age_prompt = False 

instead of just creating a temporary variable.


By the way as I looked at your nickname:
01000010 01111001 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01110111 01100001 01111001 00101100 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 01110010 00100000 01100010 01101001 01101110 01100001 01110010 01111001 00100000 01100011 01101111 01100100 01100101 00100000 01100100 01101111 01100101 01110011 01101110 00100111 01110100 00100000 01101101 01100001 01101011 01100101 00100000 01110011 01100101 01101110 01110011 01100101 00100000 00111010 01110000

File "game/script.rpy", line 40: Line is followed by a block, despite not being a menu choice. Did you forget a colon at the end of the line?
    "Are you 18 years old or older?"
