Your whole indentation is off. I suggest reading the reference entry for 'switch()' and the DM Guide.

I have Read it twice and I will re-look at switch...

Would'nt it be in Input Instructions?


PS: Whenever I put the indentions in the right place it just makes more errors and when I do it wrong it gets rid of the indention errors and gives me more erros...




Ok... Here im going to update and tell you more information...


When I fix the indention I get this

loading A series of unfortunate events.dme
A series of unfortunate events.dm:10: Inconsistent indentation.
A series of unfortunate events.dm:12: Inconsistent indentation.
A series of unfortunate events.dm:14: Inconsistent indentation.

A series of unfortunate events.dmb - 9 errors, 0 warnings (double-click on an error to jump to it)


When I do this wrong I get...

A series of unfortunate events.dm:8:error::invalid expression
A series of unfortunate events.dm:10:error:= :expected "if" or "else"
A series of unfortunate events.dm:11:error:if :expected code block

Try something like this.. it looks like you had an indention(spelling?) error.

Why Do I always get these SAME errors?

Then when I fix them... It gets more complicated...

Make sure you are not copying/pasting (just statin' in case) and make sure you are using the same spacing style for that whole code block (it being either tabbed spacing or spacebar spacing.. they are different)

Try checking out the Bwicki (Developer FAQ) sometime, you might find something useful like this: http://bwicki.byond.com/ByondBwicki.dmb?ErrorCodes (an error list and why it may happen, just look for your error)

No dude its not the indentions... When I dont indent them right it doesnt have any of the indention errors just some other stuff...
Plz help =/

PS: I am making this code myself -_- I am not copying and pasteing...

In response to Madman69
As I said, I was just stating because a lot of people do copy/paste without understanding what the heck is going on.

No dude its not the indentions...

Um, than why does the error you gave state it's an indentation error?

Fix the indentation errors. Once that is done correctly, you may get new errors.. if so, please post those errors with appropriate snippets and comments pointing which lines are what numbers in which the error(s) occurs at.

                loc = locate(40,40,1)


That should fix the indention errors right?

Anyways it says in the places I corrected were indentional errors...

Sounds you have overwrite mode on, if you want it off, just press..

And as I mentioned before, spacebar spacing and tab spacing are different types of spacing.. if you use tab spacing and then spacebar spacing on the next line of the same code block, you'll get an error for indentation due to the different spacing styles used.. read [link] for more details

Also: 
       switch(input("Who's side will you be on?","Choose") in list ("Olaf","Badulairs"))
            if("Olaf")
//The following should be indented in..
                   switch(input("Who on the Olaf side will you be?") in list ("Count Olaf","Esme","Madam Lu Lu"))
                      if("Count Olaf")//It says this is an indention error after I fixed it...

Well I finialy got to code to work thanks to a few people =)

But...

Of course it has problems =O

If you put this into a DM and Run it you will see what my problem is it is really hard to explain...

The Menu is just crazy... Like when I select Badulairs it just go's in the order it was made from.. Take a look at it =/
