"How..how long was I out?" you ask.
She points behind you. You turn and see a shaky row of fifteen tiny scratches on the wood of the cot. "You made those, one each day."
You grasp her hand. "Thank you" you say.
*if take_tyres
"Oh don't thank me, I don't have much else to do anyway. If you really want to thank someone it should be that fellow you came here with"
"Tyres?" you ask surprised.
"Is that his name? I never bothered asking. He came in here every chance he could and helped me, even shared half his rations so you wouldn't stave. And trust me, they don't give much around here. Said you he owed you."
*elseif take_tyres = false
She cackles. "You think this was free? Salves and bandages don't grow out of the sand. You owe Mama Jay now."
*goto walking_to_arena_no_whip
*label walking_to_arena_no_whip
You eat some cold food and return to bed. Hours later you wake up feeling rested and step out into the sun.
The fire beats down across your back immediately, sweat picks your skin and dampens the bandages. You look around but it seems you're alone out here. All the tents are empty. A slave runs past you, scampering downhill.
I keep getting this error: It is illegal to fall in to an *else statement; you must *goto or *finish before the end of the indented block.
Yup. Because you canāt fall into on else (which apparently also counts for an elseif) statement. Either end the block of text below the if statement with a goto or finish or change the elseif to an if. (Because you are allowed to fall in to an if statement.)
Just an FYI for other readers, thereās actually two main ways to fix this:
*if foo
true text
*goto next
*else
not true text
*goto next
*label next
or
*if foo
true text
*if (foo = false)
not true text
*label next
@COGZealot Kinda a little rude, and youāre wrong. :-p (Seriously, never include āI donāt mean to be rudeā or āIām not ___ butā at the start of the sentence. All it does it put the idea that you are what youāre saying you arenāt in peopleās minds.) (Oh, and, one of those things where you need to to exactly what you said.)
Did they pass randomtest, though? I had a terrible time with randomtest getting stuck for a while, until I realised it was because of not making sure to always end a string of mutually exclusive *ifs with an *else.
Yeah they do, they work fine, which is what confuses me.

*goto walking_to_arena_after_recover
*elseif take_tyres = false
She cackles. "You think this was free? Salves and bandages don't grow out of the sand. You owe Mama Jay now."
*goto walking_to_arena_after_recover
Thatās interesting! Maybe because itās not a choice sequence requiring *goto, and you could theoretically have done the same thing using @RETowersās second example?
My frozen *ifs always revolved around redirecting after choices.
Pretty sure that _should_nāt past random/quicktest. Thereās a little more information on why thereās requirements in the docs here. Basically itās to prevent typos and ādidnāt consider everythingā errors.
. I apologize and hope that you all have a great weekend, Iām out.
