Wiki Quest 5 examples

As a newbie, I am definately in the learning stage on learning all I can about Quest 5.1 ...

Saying that, I have completed the tutorial and have a basic understanding but there is so much more to Quest.

So, I turned my attention to the Reference section(s). As I wish to fully understand the commands and functions etc ...

Starting with the first item listed on the 'Script Commands' with 'ask' and it provides the basic definition for its use, but everyone learns differently and it would be most helpful that added to each of the items in reference:

a) shows a screen shot example
b) shows how the results may appear when 'play game' is done (when applicable)
c) if there is another reference command, function ect. that would normally be used with it (when applicable).

I do believe that such expansion to the Wiki reference site would make it easier to learn Quest and I would imagine it wouldn't take too long to add such examples.

Many thanks,
derekb

Hmmm, there are about 200 commands and functions, each 10 Minutes, this means 33 hours or 4 workingdays. This is a long time. It wouldn't be the problem if more people would help with documentation, for that reason Alex uses a wiki. Perhaps you could change one entry the way you think it would be optimal.

I would be happy to update one entry (one that I am sure I have mastered .. LOL).

Of course, there is a question before I do ... how can I capture a screen shot (like your examples which you provided for me and others).

Knowing this, I will find that chosen entry to update and then provide a link here, to see what you and others think about it.

And thank you for giving it a consideration.
