Error detected in script, but code looks correct? Any help is appreciated

#1 Post by jingleriot »

Hello! I have some old games i've been working on, and on this project in particular I picked up some code for a codex, but i can't get it to work (even though it used to work perfectly?) and i keep getting an error every time I try to open the game. I don't see what's wrong with the code as I have other chucks of code that are similar that DO work. Only this entry is causing issues. I checked the indentation as well, seems correct to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is the error and the broken code. I'm also including another error I keep getting that doesn't make sense to me either. Thank you again! If you need more information or code, please let me know!

So, there is a screen with the same name "wiki_ruby" in both backup-code.rpy and codex.rpy. I don't know if that is really the cause of the error, but you shouldn't create two screens with the same name I guess. But the error appears as if you are using the word "screen" inside another screen. You could try hitting "Force recompile" inside the launcher and see if that helps.

Code: Select all

    if ndefeat_locked == True:
NameError: name 'ndefeat_locked' is not defined
Well, the error states that the variable "ndefeat_locked" is not defined. Is it defined and how so?
