"Expected menuitem -> else:"?

[MelloCloud]

I can't figure out how I goofed, and I couldn't find a similar answer online.

Code: Select all

label search_choice:

menu:
    "Shopping District" if searchsd == False:
        jump search_SD
    "Graveyard" if searchgy == False:
        jump search_GY
    "Park" if searchp == False:
        jump search_P
    else:
        "Deep sigh":
            jump search_Final

And everything else is fine except the "else" line. I get the error

Code: Select all

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

Am I a dingus? Am I not using "else" correctly?

The menu is expecting a choice for the player to click on; you can't just stick an else into it. If you want the option to only show if all the other options are true, you could do:

Code: Select all

menu:
    "Shopping District" if searchsd == False:
        jump search_SD
    "Graveyard" if searchgy == False:
        jump search_GY
    "Park" if searchp == False:
        jump search_P
    "Deep sigh" if searchp == True and searchsd == True and searchgy == True:
        jump search_Final

You need an 'if' before an else.

You also need to move everything (except the "label") over by four spaces, your indentation is incorrect.
