That does not look like a normal Python error report. How are you
running this? If you are using an IDE it may be giving non standard
messages. It is usually better to run your code from a command line and
then send us the full error traceback. It contains a lot of useful
information.
Although in this case the error is sufficiently explicit that we can
pinpoint the error without it.
global ammo1
global ammo2
global ammo3
global health
global tech_parts
global exp
global radio_parts
These do absolutely nothing, get rid of them.
def simpstart():
global ammo
global health
global tech_parts
global radio_parts
print "You awake in a haze. A crate,a door and a radio."
g1 = raw_input("Which do you choose ")
Remember that indentation is significant in Python.
By moving the indentation of print out to the margin you have ended your
simpstart() function. As a result simpstart() does absolutely
nothing.
if g1 == "CRATE" or g1 == "Crate" or g1 == "crate":
The usual way to do this is use the lower() method of strings:
if g1.lower() == 'crate':
print "There is a pack of ammo,some food and an odd microchip"
ammo1=ammo1 + 6
> health=health + 10
> tech_parts=tech_parts + 1
You can use the += shortcut to save typing
ammo1 += 6
health += 10
tech_parts += 1
elif g2 == "NORTH" or g2 == "North" or g2 == "north":
def path_1pt1():
print "This is where it all started. Freedom Tower. A biotech firm
called Aesthos Biotechnology. Based here."
You are now trying to define a new function inside the elif block.
That's legal Python and you can do it if you really want to, but its
very unusual style. Normally functions are defined at outer level and
called when needed.
def path_1pt2():
print "There is a barbed wire topped fence, about 7 feet high.
There is a building."
print "The weather is picking up, and the wind is getting fast and
violent."
p5 = raw_input("Stay outside and risk it or check the inside of the
building ")
if p5 == "Stay" or p5 == "STAY" or p5 == "stay":
print "The wind and snow picked up. You got frostbite"
return path_1pt1()
elif p5 == "CHECK" or p5 == "Check" or p5 == "check":
print "There is a group of survivors huddled in a corner"
print """Survivor 1: Who are you?
Me: Does that matter?
Survivor 2: You aren't of 'em Protectors are ya?
Me: The what?
Survivor 1: They go around killin' people who don't
comply with their rules and live in New Quebec"
Me:Huh"""
exp=exp+200
health=health+50
ammo1=ammo1+29
p6 = raw_input("Do you wish to take a quest or continue the story? ")
p6 is defined inside the path_1pt2 function but not returned.
if p6 == "QUEST" or p6 == "Quest" or p6 == "quest":
This line is not part of the function but tests p6. That won;t work.
I suspect its an indentation error.
indentation is very important in Python.
quest1()
Since the quest() function is not defined in your code I assume you are
importing it from some other module?
elif p6 == "CONTINUE STORY" or p6 == "Continue story" or p6 ==
p9 = raw_input("Go east or west ")
if p9 == "EAST" or p9 == "east" or p9 == "East":
def GasStation():
if p10.lower== "approach kindly":
print """Me: Hey Guys!
ammo1=ammo1-6
And this is the end of your GasStation() function because the
next line is not indented...
else:
print"They murdered you!"
return GasStation()
ammo1=ammo1-6
And the above is probably where your error occurs since return is indeed
outside of a function.
Incidentally if it were in a function the ammo line would never
get executed since it is after the return, so it is pointless.
else:
return path1_pt2()
"A snowstorm swept through, killing you."
Same here, the return is outside a function.
And the following string is meaningless
Here is the error:
There's an error in your program:
***'return' outside function(g.py,line 179)
As I say, please run the program in an environment that prints proper
python error messages and send the full error text in future.
You need to go away and read about indentation,
function definitions and namespaces.
They are the biggest problems in your code at present.
Also please use bigger indentation size, a single character makes it
really hard to read and spot which indent lines up with what.
Also these very long control structures likewise make it hard to
look up and see what aligns with what above. (If with else/elif etc)
That all makes your code much harder to maintain and debug.

If you want to highlight a line, add a useful comment to it. But the problem here is your scoping. All those globals make no sense, since the keyword only has an effect inside a function. Then you define a function simpstart(), but it's only four lines long, consisting of four more global statements. in other words, the function does nothing. Then after some more top-level code, you define another function path_lpt1(), but the definition is inside a conditional. This is legal, but not likely what you intended to do. Then you define another function path_lpt2(), but end it suddenly after the line p6=raw_input(I'd expect the next line to get an error, referencing an unknown p6. You have a line health=100 immediately after a return statement, so it'll never execute. And as Oscar points out, you have a return at top-level code, which is to say, not inside any function. Not sure where you got this code, but there's probably lots more wrong; I only really looked at the indentation. I think you're confusing defining a function with calling it. And i suspect you typed the whole thing from a book or something, and just got the whole indentation wrong. -- DaveA ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

And a second reply: On 07/01/13 13:07, Jack Little wrote: def simpstart(): global ammo global health global tech_parts global radio_parts This function does nothing. It declares four globals, and then ends. All the subsequent lines of code are not indented, and so are not part of the function.

Please don't rely on so-called "rich text" email (italics, fancy fonts, different text sizes, etc), since it uses HTML code in your email and many people turn off such HTML code, or are literally unable to see it even if they wanted to. - HTML code in email is one of the top 3 signs of spam. Many people send "rich text" email straight to the trash as a way of eliminating spam. - HTML code in email is a privacy and security risk. For example, that means that the sender can track whether or not you have read the email using "web bugs" whether or not you consent to being tracked. There are viruses, spyware and other malware that can be transmitted through HTML code in email. - HTML code forces your choice in font, font size, colours, etc. on the reader. Some people prefer to read emails using their own choice of font rather than yours, and consider it rude for others to try to force a different font. - Even if they don't mind the use of "rich text" in principle, in practice once they have received enough emails with pink and yellow text on a purple background with blinking stars and dancing fairies in the background, in pure self-defence they may disable HTML in emails, or delete the emails unread. - Use of colour discriminates against the approximately 10% of the male population who are colour-blind. - Use of italics may discriminate against those who are blind and using screen readers to "read" their email. I once was on a maths mailing list for about three years until I discovered that the most prolific and helpful person there was as blind as a bat. - Programming is a *text-based* activity. Code depends on WHAT you write, not its colour, or the font you use, or whether there are smiley faces in the background winking at you. So especially in programming circles, many people find HTML code in emails to be a distraction and an annoyance. Even if you think that people who dislike HTML emails are wrong, or silly, or being precious, or completely nuts, nevertheless you should indulge us. You are asking for free advice. It does not pay for you to offend or annoy those you are asking for help. -- Steven ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
