I keep getting an error on line 8 and I need help please! No matter what I do it keeps telling me I need a goto or a finish, but I DO have a goto and it doesn’t even work. This is frustrating! ``` Out in the hall, you ponder where to go next. *label hallway *choice #Enter Commander Sorbel's quarters You enter the commander's quarters, and find them relaxing. "Would you like to join me?" #"No thanks." *goto hallway #Enter Almaran's quarters You go into Almaran's quarters and find him in his armor, checking his blades. He looks up at you and smiles. "What?" #"Nothing." *goto hallway #Go to the hangar. *goto hangar_choice *page_break *label hangar_choice *choice #Get in a ship and fly to Earth. *goto_scene yfn3-1 ``` ---

What you have on line 8 is #“No thanks.” Is this meant to be part of another choice? You can’t have a # thing floating without a \*choice or \*fake\_choice command above it. If I’m understanding correctly, the MC replies “No thanks” to Commander Sorbel, so I would code it like this: ``` *choice #Enter Commander Sorbel's quarters You enter the commander's quarters, and find them relaxing. "Would you like to join me?" "No thanks." *goto hallway ``` Because what’s happening is that it’s not recognising the floating # you have so doesn’t understand that \*goto hallway command is part of the first choice. Edit: if your intention is to let the player have a second set of choices with the “No thanks” part, you could do something like: ``` *choice #Enter Commander Sorbel's quarters You enter the commander's quarters, and find them relaxing. "Would you like to join me?" *choice #"No thanks." *goto hallway #"Of course." *goto join_sorbel ``` and so on. Additionally, I don’t think your #Go to the hangar choice is indented the same as the others. ---

I wonder if the indentation is messing you up. What I means is “\*goto hallway” needs to be indented further than #“No thanks.” I can’t tell if your file is literally like what shows in the post or not. (Also, “#Go to the hangar.” need to be indented. Also, if you are trying to do choices imbedded inside other choices, there has to be another “\*choice” on the second level. What I mean is that if you have a choice after “Would you like to join me?”, you need to say “\*choice” there. Anyhow, if I were you, I would try to write a simple single level choice first, get that working, then add the second level…I find that by writing a bit first, getting that working, then making it more complex, it’s easier to fix the errors. Good luck! ---

Hi, I just got this today and started making a CYOA game, and I’ve gotten the hang of most of the basics, I guess, but I’m stuck now at a part that’s frustrating me because I just cannot make it work! It keeps telling me this, no matter what I do! “yfn2-3 line 8: It is illegal to fall out of a \*choice statement; you must \*goto or \*finish before the end of the indented block.” ``` Out in the hall, you ponder where to go next. *label hallway *choice #Enter Commander Sorbel's quarters You enter the commander's quarters, and find them relaxing. "Would you like to join me?" #"No thanks." *goto hallway #Enter Almaran's quarters You go into Almaran's quarters and find him in his armor, checking his blades. He looks up at you and smiles. "What?" #"Nothing." *goto hallway #Go to the hangar. *goto hangar_choice *page_break *label hangar_choice *choice #Get in a ship and fly to Earth. *goto_scene yfn3-1 ``` Please can someone help me figure out what’s wrong, of it’s just broken? I don’t get why it’s telling me to put a goto or a finish command when I clearly have one! And why won’t THOSE work, and jump back up to the hallway like it’s supposed to? That’s how the tutorial said they work, right? ---

``` [quote="vessynessy20, post:1, topic:35244"] Out in the hall, you ponder where to go next. *label hallway *choice #Enter Commander Sorbel's quarters You enter the commander's quarters, and find them relaxing. "Would you like to join me?" *goto SOMEWHERE #"No thanks." *goto hallway #Enter Almaran's quarters You go into Almaran's quarters and find him in his armor, checking his blades. He looks up at you and smiles. "What?" *goto SOMEWHERE #"Nothing." *goto hallway #Go to the hangar. *goto hangar_choice [/quote] ``` Some funny spacing and 2 missing \*gotos, I think. 🙂 ---

With those spaces, you might have been trying for some nested choices, like this? ``` [quote="Lucid, post:2, topic:35244"] *label hallway *choice #Enter Commander Sorbel's quarters You enter the commander's quarters, and find them relaxing. "Would you like to join me?" *choice #"No thanks." *goto hallway #”Sure.” *goto SOMEWHERE #Enter Almaran's quarters You go into Almaran's quarters and find him in his armor, checking his blades. He looks up at you and smiles. "What?" *choice #"Nothing." *goto hallway #Somehing else *goto SOMEWHERE #Go to the hangar. *goto hangar_choice [/quote] ``` ---

Thanks! I got it figured out yeah, I needed to add a second \*choice inside the first \*choice. 🙂
