Hi,
I'm very new to quest but i have quite a bit of experience with similar languages and I have a feeling i merely need syntax help.
I've written a command. In the pattern box i wrote [throw #object#]. And the script I wrote says [msg("You threw the " + object + " across the room")]

When I type [throw rock] in game
The output reads "You threw the Object: rock across the room"
How do I make it merely say "You threw the rock across the room"?

Thanks in advance, sorry for such an easy question

Use 'object.name' or 'object.alias' as appropriate.

Perfect! thanks so much. Its always the little things that make you spend hours getting no where :)

the #object# argument/parameter is a pointer/reference to that Object that you'll type in, so you don't want to use it ('object') in a message (as it returns the Object itself, which is displayed as you've seen, 'Object: NAME_OF_OBJECT', already), instead you want to get that Object's Attribute/s (such as it's 'alias' or 'name/ID' Attributes), which is done via dot/period notation:

NAME_OF_OBJECT.NAME_OF_ATTRIBUTE

msg (object) ---> Object: NAME(ID)_OF_OBJECT
msg (object.name) ---> NAME(ID)_OF_OBJECT

<object name="ball">
  <attr name="alias" type="string">red ball</attr>
</object>

// you type in:
// blah ball

<command name="whatever_command">
  <pattern>blah #object#</pattern>
  <script>
    // msg (object)
    // output:
    // Object: ball
    //
    // msg (object.name)
    // output:
    // ball
    //
    // msg (object.alias)
    // output:
    // red ball
  </script>
</command>
