This is crazy. Yet again I'm having a problem with using items. Last time i had to start my scripting over because it was just messed up. This time i have had a use item function that had worked for a while and now doesnt work when i tried it this time and now again no use items work.

Have you created your own "use" verb perhaps? That would override the built-in Quest "use" behaviour. Look under Games->Verbs in the tree menu, and delete "use" if it's in there.

If that's not the problem, please attach your ASL file or email it to me at alex@axeuk.com and I'll take a look.

I tried that. It won't override the use option. It acts the same as if you used "use". And other verbs do work on the items.

I don't really know what to do. I know its a bug that gets in it cuz if i started over on a new file and wrote it all again then "use" would work right. i would like to try to just copy the asl. Is there a place where you can edit the asl? Cuz you can't copy it or do anything to it in view asl.

Nobody knows then?... bummer

If you add your own "use" verb then anything you've set up under "Edit 'Use' Details" for an object won't work, so I recommend you never add "use" as a verb to an object.

You can edit the ASL if you open up your game file in Notepad.

As I said earlier, if you attach your game file here, or email it to me, I'll be able to help you better because I'll be able to see exactly how you've got things set up, and if you've got anything that might be causing conflicts (like a broken synonym).

I'll email my program. There are pictures in it though so you won't be able to run it normal but i guess that doesnt matter you just need to see the script right?

Thanks very much. You have helped me alot. I run into so many problems and get aggravated. I fixed the problem thanks to your info i won't need to send the script. I found a use verb and deleted it and now they work. I can't remember or not sure why its there.
