I can't test my game as i can run because of two errors i don't know how to solve.

1) Function declaration `Button` must be outside any program nest at line 291

2) Could not close nest at line 744

just ask if you need to know more of the code in order to help

Check the closet an extra time, i might be in there!

Sounds like you didn't close an if block, but more code would be helpful.

Who needs a signature?

Right, it does sound like you forgot to close an ifblock or a for nest somewhere. If you didn't, make sure you aren't trying to declare a function within a nest (if or for etc.) of any kind.

Terrain Generation has a whole new face.

If Button(560,350,"No")=1 then goto No

loop

Yes:
End

No:
goto mainmenu

function Button(x1,y1,WORDS$)
Pressed=0
x2=Text Width(WORDS$)
y2=Text Height(WORDS$)
if mousex()>x1 and mousex()<x1+x2
if mousey()>y1-y2 and mousey()<y1+y2
Pressed=1
endif
endif
if pressed=1 then ink rgb(255,0,0),0 else ink rgb(255,255,255),0

The only obvious problem there is:

goto mainmenu

the label mainmenu doesn't exist... It probably does exist, but it's not here. Other than that, nothing obvious, the error is likely to be somewhere else in your code

@ horror expert
I copied your code and other than the 'mainmenu' label being missing, it worked fine. The errors must be elsewhere in your code.

The use of GOTO is not recommended. Based on the code shown, you are jumping to locations and then the program is not directed to go anywhere else and it simply falls through to whatever comes next. For example, when you goto New_Game, the program clears the screen and then falls through to Continue.

You should use GOSUB instead of GOTO and then return from the various subroutines. The function itself is working fine.

I tried that, but it still dosn't seem to work!
It still display the error:

Function declaration `Button` must be outside any program nest at line 313

I got plenty of other `Buttons` connected to that function, could the error lie there??

@ horror expert

Using GOSUB instead of GOTO was not intended to fix the problem, it was just some programming advice.

I don't see where we can be of much help without seeing your code. If you decide to post it, copy the text, click the CODE button, move the cursor to after the word [CODE], paste your text and then click the [CODE] button again. This will put all of the code into a snippet.

And... also indent your code! It makes it lots easier for experienced programmers to read - and therefore understand.

This will greatly improve your chances of someone helping you.

If your code is quite long and indenting would take too long, download DBATidy from here:
