Ive been adding some code to a friends game, but i keep getting these errors that say "Inconsistent indentation"

Code:
mob/proc/scouter_sales()

    var/obj/Equipment/Scouters/O=new
   
    switch(input("Want colour of Scouter do you want to buy? 750Z per scouter")in list("Green","Red","Blue","Yellow","Pink","Never Mind"))

        if("Never Mind")
            return


        if("Green")
            if(usr.zenni >= 750)
                usr.zenni -= 750
                O.icon = 'Green Scouter.dmi'
                O.UNDER = 'Green Scouter.dmi'
                usr.contents += new/obj/Equipment/Scouter
                usr << "<font size = -1><B><font color = blue>Shop Keep:</font> Thanks for buying!"
                return
            else
                usr << "<font size = -1><B><font color = blue>Shop Keep:</font> You cannot afford this!"
                return
                
     
        if("Red")
            if(usr.zenni >= 750)
                usr.zenni -= 750
                O.icon = 'Red Scouter.dmi'
                O.UNDER = 'Red Scouter.dmi'
                usr.contents += new/obj/Equipment/Scouter

Problem: Failing to correctly indent a line where it is an obvious error.
I know that..But i still need help, i dont know how to fix what is wrong

Fix: Go over the block of code that the error leads to. Try scanning upward from there. On every line, delete all of the tabs and spaces and re-indent it to its proper level -- make sure you understand what proper indentation is, though! The above example should look like:

It seems to me that the line before it is indented with spaces as opposed to tabs.

The problem is that you've indented incorrectly.

Hitting Ctrl-t will show you where you have tabs and things. Check to see you don't have spaces where there should be tabs.

Un-indent the line starting with switch(... by one tab.

The /obj/Equipment/Scouters path is probably not represented in your code, meaning that O has an invalid type as it points to an invalid type path.

obj/Equipment/Scouters


Try adding that in, with no indents to the left of it, and not in the middle of a proc.
