Can you explain what you want help with? In what way(s) is the code not meeting your needs/expectations?

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).

This is a more detailed explanation

On code.org you are given an error message when something in your code doesnt work this is represented by a red square or yellow triangle
my error is not defined and the issue is on lines 30 and 53 I am not sure what the problem is here is a picture from the site and the written code

//Pick Job and Outfit colour
onEvent("pickJobScreen", "click", function( ) {
  playSound("sound://category_music/birthday_kazoo_positive_game_cue_1.mp3", false);}
 onEvent("dropdownJob", "change", function( ) {
    //base
    //There is a delay when the pictures change I am not sure why
    pickjob = getProperty("dropdownJob", "value");
    if (pickjob == "Clown") {
      setImageURL("baseCharacter", "clown-black.png");
    } else if((pickjob == "Juggler")) {
      setImageURL("baseCharacter", "hk-km-.png");
    } else if((pickjob == "Magician"))
      setImageURL("baseCharacter", "circus-clipart-magician-1.png");
   onEvent("dropdownColour", "change", function( ) {
    picksuitcolourclown = getProperty("dropdownJob", "value");
    if (picksuitcolourclown == "Pink") {
      setImageURL("baseCharacter", "clown-pink.png");
    } else if((picksuitcolourclown == "Green")) {
      setImageURL("baseCharacter", "clown-green.png");
    } else if((picksuitcolourclown == "Black")) {
      setImageURL("baseCharacter", "clown-black.png");
    }else if((picksuitcolourclown == "Blue")) {
      setImageURL("baseCharacter", "clown-blue.png");
    } else if((picksuitcolourclown == "Gold")) {
      setImageURL("baseCharacter", "clown-yellow.png");}
});

There’s an unclosed / unmatched curly brace.

Try your code here

ravhawk · February 12, 2021, 9:33pm

It definitely appears to me that you’re missing your closing curly brace on line 53 from your onEvent from line 30.
