Code:
//original; no problem
turf/Battle
    Battle1
        Enter(mob/M)
            if(ismob(M) && M.client)
                M.RandBattle()
            return..()

//new; problem here
turf/Battle
    Battle
        Enter(mob/M)
            if(ismob(M) && M.client)
                if(!M.nofight)//here
                    M.nofight = 1
                    M.RandBattle()
                    sleep(30)
                    M.nofight = 0//to here are inconsistent errors for some reason
            return..()


Problem description: I don't know why it says inconsistent indentions when it looks perfectly alligned. I believe I asked this question a long time ago, but it still frustrates me every time this happens since I forgot or never found out how to fix.

Even if it looks perfectly aligned, you may be mixing tabs and spaces. Press control-T to show tabs.

I tried that too. I always used tabs for the past couple years.

Everything under M.nofight = 1 under the if() statement you pointed out seems to be indented one extra.

Wow really? I just noticed that; but I coulda swore I copied and pasted it correct from the DM window..Anyways, I retyped it(still using tabs), and it still says inconsistent errors..


Edit: I did notice that it goes oveer one more space when pasted here...

Well, a quick way would be to de-indent everything and re-indent it (gotta love shift+tab or de-indent and tab for tab indent) the whole lot where it is happening just in case (when I copy/pasted and aligned the three lines with spaces, it worked out perfectly)

In other news:

You shouldn't have all that stuff in Enter(). It should be in Entered().

To have used Ctrl+T to check on this and not see it means you didn't spare it more than a glance. It should be clear that either a tab is somewhere, or it's not. There are definitely tabs and spaces mixed there. In several places you should be expecting to see the tab (with Ctrl+T turned on) but won't.

More insidiously, you may have a space right in the middle of a bunch of tabs. In this case, it's only apparent by the tab characters being out of alignment.
