So there is this error that makes no sense

error: line 1142
it is illegal to fall out of a *choice statement, you must *goto or *finish before the end of the indented block

But line 1142 is


#Stay in his default form and by your side- you do not yet know what the best course of action is but you would like to have Beckham comfortable and at the ready.

It’s a choice! Can anyone help me with this?

You need a goto after the choice, or a finish

So


*choice
    #Stay in his default form and by your side- you do not yet know what the best course of action is but you would like to have Beckham comfortable and at the ready.
        *goto nextscene
    #Or Stay in his default form and by your side- you do not yet know what the best course of action is but you would like to have Beckham comfortable and at the ready.
        *finish

Generally, when quicktest gives an error like that, it’s not referring to the option in the line cited, but the option in the indented “#” block before that.

@Cataphrak
EDIT:
Wait, so the error is in the line before the line indicated?

@Caddmuss
There’s a *choice at the end of the option

So I think it may just be indicating the choice that’s before it, which is incomplete.

I’m not sure that’s quicktest (having never used it), but it looks like a playthrough error to me.

*choice’s need a *goto or *goto_scene to continue to a new section, otherwise you’d end up in the next choice’s content at the end. You use *label’s to denote a beginning of a section.

E.g.

Where are you going next?

*choice
  #Option A
    *goto optA
  #Option B
    *goto optB

*label optA
You chose Option A.

*label optB
You chose Option B.

Alternatively, I use *fake_choice’s if I’m doing something quick, but all choices end up in the same place after.

What gender are you?

*fake_choice
  #Male
    *set gender "Male"
  #Female
    *set gender "Female"

So you're ${gender}? Cool.

Is there a *goto at the end of the option?

It would be handy to see the context – can you post the whole block of text around the choice?

@Havenstone
I realized that it’s indicating the choice before it, which was incomplete (i.e. I hadn’t expanded it with a *goto, *finish, or *choice)
