Hello, I am having a problem with my teleporting system:

ERROR:

    if loadedArea == 'sbhq':
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'loadedArea' referenced before assignment
Press any key to continue . . .

Also here is my code:

	if (message) == '~TP DG':
		if loadedArea == 'sbhq':
			RunScreen()
			SBHQ.remove()
			SBHQ = loader.unloadModel('phase_9/models/cogHQ/SellbotHQExterior.bam')
			vtwocog.hide()
			vtwocog2.hide()
			loadedArea = 'daisygardens'
			daisygardens = loader.loadModel('phase_15/hood/daisys_garden.bam')
			daisygardens.reparentTo(render)
			localAvatar.setPosHpr(0.559869, 15.3223, 0.025,0, 0, 0)
			loadingtext['text'] = "Loading Daisy's Garden. . ."

LoadedArea is defined in a diffrent file, and is imported -Thanks

It’s difficult to speak with great confidence without seeing more context above the line in question; what the error is essentially saying is that you haven’t created the local variable “localArea” before the line in which you’re attempting to use it.

Should “localArea” belong to some object or other? (In other words, is it an instance variable–or perhaps a class variable–rather than a local variable?) If so, then you’re presumably missing the reference to the object or class in question.
