Hello, I'm new to this site and program. I was trying to make my first game but I have run into a problem; How do you make object link work? I have a bookshelf in my game, and there are some objects you can interact with but I can't get the "Object Link " command to work.

msg ("{object:pencil}")

I did use that command, but the link never turns up, the words are black and white and I can't click on them or use the typing command.

Is the object visible and in the same room as the player?

Object links will automatically be automatically disabled if the player can't see the object.

The bookshelf is, but the objects are in the bookshelf. Do I need to but the player In the bookshelf?

The books should go (on) the shelf. Is the shelf marked as a surface under the container tab? Then check (hide contents till looked at), I believe. Then It will show all the books on the shelf once you (look at) it. All the items are in the same room but you can't see the books till the shelf is looked at. Then Object links should work.

Or leave the (hide Children till looked at) unticked and you can see the books right away. and the object link will work. The game will say. (You can see a shelf (on which is a book called"Kiss Me")

I think I have it now, thank you!
