Question

So, me and two other friends are trying to make a text based game running on batch and everything’s going smooth, well, except for this one thing, normally on text based games, when a player doesn’t write the correct input, the game usually responds something like “don’t know what is (the player input)” and in ours, it just bugs and goes on to the next line, so, my question is, how can we be able to fix this and do it the way text based games are supposed to do it?

Thanks!

here is some of the code:

set/p input="What do you want to do?"
if "%input%"=="play" goto :beg: 
if "%input%"=="quit" goto :quit:
if "%input%"=="credits" goto :credits:
if "%input%"=="start" goto :lvl1:
if "%input%"=="ilrdj87imwa" goto :lvl2:
if "%input%"=="valveisevil" goto :lvl3:

pause

Without seeing the code you are using it’s hard to know what’s going wrong.

Try using something like this

:LOOP
set /p input=Enter input
if %input%==ok (
goto :CONTINUE
) else (
echo Wrong input
goto :LOOP
)

:CONTINUE
REM Input ok, carry on

Update

set /p input=What do you want to do?
if "%input%"=="play" goto :beg 
if "%input%"=="play again" goto :pa
if "%input%"=="quit" goto :quit

:play
echo Play
pause >nul

:pa
echo Play again
pause >nul

:quit
exit >nul
