Parsing Script expected statement??!

[Owl.Child]

I've started working on a visual novel but I keep getting the error "Parsing the script failed", then as details it has

Code: Select all

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


File "game/script.rpy", line 24: expected statement.
    ("[povgender!t]")== "she" 
                              ^

File "game/script.rpy", line 26: expected statement.

HELP??

~Edit~

pt 1. (it works here)

Code: Select all

scene gender
"What is your gender?"
menu:
    "she":
       ("[povgender!t]")== "she" :
    "he":
       ("[povgender!t]") == "he": 
    
if ("[povgender!t]") == "she":
       pov "I prefer she."
if ("[povgender!t]") == "he":
       pov "I prefer he."

Part 2. (doesn't work?)

Code: Select all

w "Oh.. Hi there.."

if ("[povgender!t]") == "he":
        w "Jasper calm him down.."
                          
if ("[povgender!t]") == "she":
        w "Jasper calm her down.."

j "o-oh uh... sure... (He nods a bit unsure)"

Show us that part of the script, so we can understand what you're trying to do.

Right of course, how silly of me..

I wonder why you used !t in that line.
Can you post your full script.rpy here?
(You can trim it first to remove the unnecessary lines/dialogues).

[Owl.Child]

Code: Select all

scene blank
$ povname = renpy.input(_("What is your name?"))
pov   "My name is [povname!t]."

scene gender
"What is your gender?"

menu:
    "she":
        $ povgender = "she" 
    "he":
        $ povgender = "he" 

if povgender == "she":
    pov "I prefer she."

elif povgender == "he":
    pov "I prefer he."

scene blank
n "Well, [povname!t] , 

if povgender == "he":
    w "Jasper calm him down.."

elif povgender == "she":
    w "Jasper calm her down.."

"You choose to..."
menu:
    "Push him away":
        $ you = "No"
    "Smile and hug back": 
        $ you = "Yes"
    
if you == "No":
    pov "!"
    j "Oh uh.. s-sorry.."
    
elif you == "Yes":
    "you weirdly enjoy his touch"
    "Jasper smiles"

(Sorry about that, I'm a bit of a nwebie)

Sorry about that, I've fixed my scripts to coding. Sorry again

Ok, I'm missing the part where you define that "pov" and other character. Are they also in script.rpy?
And your new code that you posted above doesn't contain the line that mentioned in this error message.
Did you actually update your script.rpy?

Code: Select all

File "game/script.rpy", line 24: expected statement.
    ("[povgender!t]")== "she" :

Edit : you made a typo/miss in this line :

Code: Select all

scene blank
n "Well, [povname!t] ,

it should be

Code: Select all

scene blank
n "Well, [povname!t] "
