Expected an indentation block Python error

Question

I've looked at the similar questions but all were either a description without indentation after an if statement, or a weird mixture of spaces and tabs. I have tried removing all of the tabs and using 4 spaces and also tried with all tabs, I'm just stuck now. I've tried retyping the whole thing but I must be missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated

EDIT: Posting the whole thing as people are getting confused about the functions which I didn't post

Answer 1

Please also look at elif block, where you suppose to do.

elif ans == "3": # make sure you have '==' operator here.
elif ans == "4":

Answer 2

Corrected code:

def shadow_figure():
    print "\n\nYou approach the figure, who remains silent."
    print "As you get closer you realise he has bag at his feet."
    print "Mysterious figure: \"You may choose only one.\""
    print "You look into the bag, and see a shiny sword on top of a large steel shield."
    ans = raw_input("Do you: \n1. Take the sword \n2. Take the shield \n3. Take the whole bag and run \n4. Walk away without taking anything\n> ")

    if ans == "1":
        print "The sword gives you an extra 3 damage"
        wep_dam += 3
        exit_beach()

    elif ans == "2":
        print "The shield gives you 3 armor, but it's so heavy it reduces your sneak by 1"
        arm += 3
        sne -= 1
        exit_beach()

    elif ans == "3":
        dungeon("You get about 10 feet away with the bag before bony fingers grip your throat and choke you unconscious") #Should dungeon() be print instead?

    elif ans == "4":
        exit_beach()
    else:
        print "Error, please enter a number between 1 and 4"

See Vaibhav Mule's answer. You were using the assignment operator on input 3 and 4, rather then the comparison operator. There might be more wrong here, but it's hard to tell without the rest of your code. Also I'm not sure what your dungeon() function does, but you probably meant print?

Answer 3

The error was pointing to line 20 , which in this case would be line 1.

The error was in the function exit_beach() that was being called and not actually within this function.

As soon as I added the correct indentation to function exit_beach() the error disappeared.
