title: Renpy ELIF statement
body: <p>I have been looking at renpy's tutorial on how to make choices, and for the most part, have it figured out except for one minor thing. </p>
  
  <p>How do I correctly use an elif statement? 
  I have looked up basic python elif statements and even an actual site on how to use one in renpy and can't get it to work.</p>
  
  <p>(I have attached a screenshot of my code along with my error, any help is greatly appreciated)</p>
  
  <p>Here is a snippet of my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>define e = Character("???")
  $ mage = False
  $ warrior = False
  $ archer = False
  
  # The game starts here.
  
  label start:
  # Show a background.
  
  scene bg black
  
  # This shows a character sprite. 
  
  show weird orb
  
  # These display lines of dialogue.
  
  e "Welcome human, what is your name?"
  
  python:
      name = renpy.input(_("What's your name?"))
      name = name.strip() or __("John")
  
  define m = Character("[name]")
  
  e "Hmm, [name] is it?"
  e "That's a wonderful name!"
  m "Where am I?"
  e "You'll know in good time, my child."
  e "For now, tell me a bit about yourself"
  menu:
      e "Which of these do you prefer?"
      "Magic":
          jump magic
      "Brute Force":
          jump force
      "Archery":
          jump archery
  
  label magic:
      e "You chose magic."
      $ mage = True
      jump enter
  
  label force:
      e "You chose brute force."
      $ warrior = True
      jump enter
  
  label archery:
      e "You chose archery."
      $ archer = True
      jump enter
  
  label enter:
      if mage:
          m "I'm a mage."
      elif warrior:
          m "I'm a warrior."
      else:
          m "I'm an archer"
  return
