Hi Patrick,

Can you copy/paste your code into your reply instead of the screenshot please, some of your code isn’t visible in that image.

public class TextController : MonoBehaviour {

	private enum States { cell, mirror, sheets, lock, sheets_1, lock_1, mirror_cell, freedom };
	private States myState;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		myState = States.cell;
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
		print (myState);
	}

	void state_cell (){
		text.text = "You are in a prison cell, and you want to escape."+
					"A bed, with some dirty sheets, a miror and the door"+
					"is locked from the outside"+
					" welcome to Prison.\n\n" +
					" Press S to view Sheets, M to view Mirror and L to view lock";	
		if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.S)){
		}

	}
}

Hey,

Your code is ok, but… you notice above how the word “lock” is a different colour? It is what is referred to as a keyword, as such you cannot use it in this way.

If you check the lecture again you’ll note that it should infact be lock_0, which then gets around the issue.

Also, please do check out the link I provided above with regards to the formatting of copy/pasted code in the replies, it will be beneficial to you and those that help you going forward
