and sb is glitched because 0:39 doesn't have ether of those nor a input command any ideas on how to fix this also for those who have been helping me i did some major recoding because i'm new and i found an easy way to do it

is 39 the end of your code? if so, that error is because you didn't end a repeat loop, and SB expects an 'until' before the end of the code.

if not, send a bug report to SmileBoom

Provide a download key.

ok so i did that and idk if i messed up the cut off or something but now there's a non-exiisting 0:41

or show us the code.

here's the code

IF "Explore" THEN ... what kind of syntax is that? Should be something like IF A$=="Explore" THEN

its supposed to REPEAT Something UNTIL (whatever happens) so the 41st should be UNTIL or you can put it anywhere, but its trying to tell you that UNTIL should be in or near the end.

reason why i dont have a$==blah blah is because i tried that once and it triggered a really weird bug that sends one response from one question cuts it then transfers it to another

and you need to be using input, or make a choise bar

how do i make a choice bar (and here comes people sighing in 3...2...1)

an easy way to do it would be like, LOCATE 1,1PRINT "go inside(A)" LOCATE 1,3 PRINT "run away"

oops sorry wasnt done writing that.. then like, IF BUTTON() AND #A THEN GOTO @(label name) IF BUTTON() AND #B THEN GOTO @(label name)

that would be the easyest way, or most simple way, just put a cls at the begining of each story parts loop.

ok so modifing some of the old code here so it works is this the right way to do it

Your Variable names (Like 'a') should never be enclosed in parenthesis. otherwise it is treated like (and is) a string.

And none of the ifs will ever run because (example) the string "a" does ot equal "blabla" in [if "a"=="blabla"]. also, string variables should always end in a "$".

And statements like [if "get out of the car" then ... etc.] work and will ALWAYS run because the string returns 1 because it is non-empty.

whats wrong with 0:37 exactly

Take all of the parenthesis off the if statements.

still lists error

What line? show me.

i took all of the (s off yet it still lists error

show me the code

opps sorry here it is (i ran another code test thing to see if it worked and now it says error 0:40)

You have an orphan REPEAT at line 35. Each REPEAT must have a matching UNTIL.

opps forgot about that i guess i will do the thing i was going to do or delete it for a demo to see if the teleporting response glitch is still there

ok so dumb question #4 i think idk lost count but is this the proper way for 3 choices or do have to add the whole a==>b or a==c thing also i know the $ symbol is there i'm gonna delete those after (not the ones in the if commands)

Those would work, but probably not the way you intended in this situation. If you're prompting for a choice and you store the user's input in A$, the you need to check each possible value of A$. IF A$=="explore" THEN ... IF A$=="rest" THEN ... IF A$=="eat" THEN ...

If you're providing numbers for action shortcuts such as these. ?"1 - explore" ?"2 - rest" ?"3 - eat" And allow only numeric input. INPUT A You could use IF statements something like this. IF A==1 THEN... IF A==2 THEN... IF A==3 THEN...

ok but what about the until thing how exactly does that work cause i did one of the examples and it listed error

It could be something like this. REPEAT ?"Your options are..." ... INPUT "Do which action number?",A IF A=="1" THEN GOTO @EXPLORE IF A=="2" THEN GOTO @REST IF A=="3" THEN GOTO @EAT UNTIL 1 Any non-zero number after the UNTIL forces it to always go back up to the REPEAT. You could achieve the same thing by replacing "REPEAT" with "@label" and "UNTIL" with "GOTO @label".

so if "i did your options are"where do i put them and can i keep the options with other parts of text

The lines that print out the options would go below the "your options are" line. What happens when the user selects an option would go after that option's IF ... THEN, or at the label pointed to by the IF ... THEN. However, this may lead to a very large program. Maybe a better idea would be to map out all the data for each room and write generic functions to present the data and control the flow.

oh god this is gonna be a little hard to remember that route i'm just gonna write that down somewhere and do it tomorrow

does the options have to be in "s

Any text you want to appear on the screen as is, has to be in quotes. If it's not in quotes, letters & words are interpreted as variables and their value (typically zero) will appear.

Sorry, on reviewing my earlier posts I noticed mistakes. Lines where we're checking the value of a numeric variable, like this one here: IF A=="1" THEN... should not have quotes around the numbers. They should actually be like this one below. IF A==1 THEN... We need quotes only if we're using string variables, like this. IF A$=="KOALA" THEN...

its cool so if i have something like this (i know i need untill but after that) it should work

can you have until after the re$ or does it need its own line

The lines after 35 look like they'll work fine. Line 35 itself needs a few minor changes. At the start instead of ? (print), since it's asking for input it should be INPUT (INPUT will print the message in the quotes.) Then at the end of the quotes, the variable name should match that which you've used in the IF ... THEN lines after it, so instead of RE$ the variable should be A

ok changed it how exactly do i close the thing though because i tried doing it the way i did for the other ones yet it listed a error (also idk if line 35 is 100% yet or not so i'm also checking for that to)

Except for line 35, it looks like it should be ok. I don't know what your idea is for the storyline, but I'm guessing it's going to branch out, based on each of the three actions, so you might want to add some GOTO statements.

ok how good are you at writing choose your horror stories btw

I don't really know... I've never tried.

ok so i know how to add and use a goto statements i just dont know where to put them

After the print statement's closing quotes. IF A==4 THEN ?"You follow the white rabbit": GOTO @ForestClearing IF A==5 THEN ... ... @ForestClearing ?"You arrive in a forest clearing. A small white rabbit is here. Select 1 to offer a carrot, 2 to play your harp, or 3 to try to catch it with your net." ...

so i got the things down not sure if you still use input or something else so..

Fix your inputs, you have: input [string] but it should be formated like this: input [string],[var_to_store_input]

so something like this: input "blablatextstuff...",A or input "example2",A$ is correct.

one last question (for now at least) where is the best place to put a repeat and a until

ok scratch that cause i accidentaly found a way to do that with people sending junk to my code my actual problem is separating the answers to the questions because this happens how do i fix this

Think back to the choose-your-own-adventure books. Each @LABEL represents the heading at the top of each chapter. The chapter contains some information about what's happening now. These are your ?"print statements". Then you're given some action options. These are the INPUT"what to do",A statements. Then you're told "If you run away, turn to chapter 73". These are IF A==... GOTO

At the end of each @LABEL block and before the next @LABEL you need some code that'll direct the user to somewhere else. Otherwise they'll fall out of one @LABEL block and into the next. (It's like reading a choose-your-own adventure book through page by page instead of following the instructions.)

does it have to be a specific line of code or could it be any line of code

Line numbers are free. It's ok to use as many as you need. :)

ok will add later i do have a beta for this (i'm adding to it right now) i want the beta to be a open beta like what friday the 13th devs did but free but idk how to access sbs is it a member ship thing or something also idk what to add in terms of game play cause idk how to do somethings i want to do (like load a playable map of the town this game takes place in combat system ect) so...

use locate for line placing.

what do you use for sprite placing though

spofs to place it.

ok so that rises the question how do you properly set up a inventory system
