I know this issue has been comented in a lot of posts around here, but I still can’t have my through this error. I’ve encountered it a few times before and managed to get away, but now I can’t fix it and I don’t know what is causing it. Today, I thought of develop a combat system for my Middle Age…

Hello everyone. It worked! I put a *fake_choice and a common *goto label at the end of every line and it appears to have fixed. *label defensespear *fake_choice #swerve *if agility <=1 *rand die 0 100 *if die <=45 *set defense 0 …

If you can show us the indents, it would help us to see what your code is doing. Use the below tool to format your code: [image] You can see these tools by hitting the edit button (the pencil looking icon) below your post.

[image] Ricciardo3f1: *elseif agility <=4 Ooh, here’s the issue, I bet. Should that be “>=”? I believe there’s no provision for agility being > 4, so the code is falling out without a *goto. And I also think there’s no final *else in that sequence–it goes *if agility <= 1; *elseif agility …

I’d recommend using a *fake_choice statement instead of a *choice, but I don’t know if that would hinder your chances at learning how to correctly use choices Oh, forget it. @Gower already beat me at it

[image] Gower: And I also think there’s no final *else in that sequence–it goes *if agility <= 1; *elseif agility =2; *elseif agility <= 4, and that’s it. But it’s hard to be wholly sure without seeing the proper indentation I believe I once saw the code of a game, and the author didn’t use a…

*choice #swerve *if agility <= 1 *rand die 0 100 *if die <= 35 *set defense 0 *goto defenseshortsword0 *else *set defense 1 *goto defenseshortsword2 *if agility = 2 *ra…

Hmm… Now that I look at it, what happens if strength or agility are equal to 3? Wouldn’t that throw an error?

Could work, but each different result leads to a different *label. I can try to make a single label to make it work.

Problem is, code goes up all the way throughout to 10, and that already has a code >=10. I just put a small version of it. I’m copy pasting (with proper indentation) of the full thingy. *choice #swerve *if agility <=1 *rand die 0 100 *if die <=35 …

If agility is not less than or equal to 1 in that first *if, there is nowhere for the code to go–no *goto. If you draw a line down from *if agility <=1, it goes down to the #block section. Are you sure that *elseif agility = 2 shouldn’t be dedented?

It looks like I was wrong in my initial diagnosis. @Gower is right, the *elseif indentation is most likely the only cause. From what I can see, there is no need to change anything else. I also don’t see how your agility or strength could result in an error, it would just go to *elseif agility <= 4. …
