I'm brand new. This issue is probably easy, but it still eludes me. My game is set up with Panes Off, and the room descriptions are Words Only.
1) I want it to display "You are in...." text each time the room is entered. I wrote that text into the script for when the player enters the room. When the player enters the room, the window displays the room description, then this scripted text. - How do I get it to show the scripted text first?
2) I'd like the player to be able to see takeable objects when they are present just by looking at the room. - How?

Other than the tutorial, is there any other location for cookbook-type how-to's?

Thanks!

This is a little complicated but I used it in my 'Barabarian' game.
On the game menu under advanced there is a section under 'To describe rooms in the game'
There you can customize your own room descriptions.
What you need to know is some of the built in quest variables.
For example when you print #quest.lookdesc# it prints out the room description that you have set up in the room.
#quest.formatobjects# prints all the objects in the room.
Hope this helps a little.
If you want to find out more built in variables then look up built in string variable in the help file.

Thanks for your speedy reply. Unfortunately, I am so new to this, that I've spent the last day trying to figure it out. I'm not sure how to use - #quest.formatobjects# . Do I use it as is, or do I add something to it?

I put several takeable objects in a test room. Then I cut and pasted that string variable into Game > Adv Script Commands > Print. It doesn't do anything. Does it go somewhere else? Am I supposed to edit it?

under print a message on the right where you would print the words.
type in
There are #quest.formatobjects# here.
The # tells it to insert the variable quest.formatobjects there.
quest.format objects returns a list of object in the room in this form
object1,object2 and object3.
I hope this helps.
