Is there a way to ask a player a question?

I want to have a child enter their name, now I can have a room description that says, to enter your name at the bottom. When they enter any name, it gets put into the name variable and the player moves to the start room.

I don't want the player to have to type NAME "name" or type AGE "enter age".

Id rather just pop up to ask the question and their next input they type will answer that question.

I have searched and read and cant find away to do this.

Thanks,

I just learned something from your test.asl.

I thought you had to create the variable first, using "status variables" option, and then populate it with a variable, like you did with #name# in your script. I guess you can just create a variable on the fly in a script by saying what it equals.

Cool, thanks again.
