I’m having trouble with the *choice feature. So, I used it and tried to make it work, but it just keeps giving me an error message. The error I’m getting is: startup line 25: invalid indent, expected at least one ‘choice’ My code looks like this: *choice #Explore and discover this strange thing..…

Is the line number on your error message the same as the choice you posted? Maybe it’s getting caught up somewhere else?

Was about to say that. Always look at the line number it mentions first. (Someone it’ll be elsewhere but more likely that’s where the problem is and you can work the problem out more easily.)

You must missed this one #choice, hidden below the pile of hay. Try to look for it. And btw, if you encountered multiple problems, try to ask them in a single thread instead. You know, keep things tidy.

Ok, so someone already gave me a solution to this, it didn’t seem to work!! Code: *choice #Male Ok. *set gender male *page_break *goto afterGender #Female Ok. *set gender female *page_break *goto afterGender *label afterGende…

It should work like that, i cant see any problems. Also you don’t need to use *page_break after a choice as it does that automatically. Hope someone can help with that :slight_smile:

Actually wondering if removing the *page_break will fix your problem for you! Give us an update when you can! :slight_smile:

Also, if your gender variable is a string variable, it wont recognise *set gender male . male should be “male” . *choice #Male *set gender "male" *goto scene #female *set gender "female" *goto scene *label scene This should work. But the one you posted …

It’s probably that. So maybe “male” an “female”. Assuming the startup variables are already made. Edit: Nevermind, read the error message and it has nothing to do with that. I can only blame page_break. Edit 2x: I tried creating variants of what you did, nope, no error messages at all. You might …

Yeah, page_break isn’t necessary, but inserting one before *goto has no effect at all and thus shouldn’t have any errors either.

Ok, here’s my startup thingy: *title [here] *author [here] *create strength "20" *create stamina "20" *create speed "20" *create gender "0" *create name "0" *scene_list startup

Code using CSIDE–it should make lots of this easier, including finding line numbers and checking how your game looks as you write.
