Hi folks you'll be glad to hear that I'm doing ok on my game, but I do have a slight problem.
What I'd like is to be able to take an object and give it to someone special for a reward.

I've highlighted the item, and clicked on the Use/Give tab at the top of the screen, and then selected "Give this to (other object)" There ia a drop down then saying "action" the choices are
1. None
2. handle objects indivdually
3. Print message

I've chosen the handle objects indivdually
It then want a Key, which I assume is the object that I wish to give my aquired object to.
I then just add a print command just as a way of a test.

When I run the game and try to give the object, I choose th give in the inventory window bit it comes back with
"I don't understand command"
Must be me doing something wrong,
And ideas guys?

Thanks for the help
Benny

Did you add "give" as displayverb? This does not work yet. The correct command is "give object to object2" but you can't specify object2 via mouseinput in this version. But Alex added this for the coming version 5.2 and you can test it in the onlline editor.

Ok thanks for that.
If that's the case then I think its probably better for me not to put the verb in the display box as I think this will be confusing for the user when a error comes back.
Any ideas when this new version is out?
Also, what do you mean online editor?
Thank again for the help
Benny

As fast as Alex works it shouldn't take long.

Just had a look at the online version and it looks great.
Can use the Give command really well. Just a shame that I've spent so much time on this game on my computer.
I don't want to start again, is there a way I could use the file I have locally and use the online editor, or do I have to wait till the new version comes out?

Thanks
Ben

I will be implementing an import/export feature on the web version at some point, so you can transfer files between web and desktop versions.

In the meantime if you email me your aslx file (and any graphics etc. in the game folder) I'll upload it for you.

Thats fantastic,
Thanks so much Alex that would be brill.
What or where is your email, I can see private message, but can't see an attach icon anywhere.

Benny

There's a mail icon to the left, it's plastered all over this website, and it's also here: alex@axeuk.com

Ok that's super, I've emailed it to you.
Look forward to your response.
Thanks for the help
Benny

Just noticed that although you can edit online, you can't upload and publish the final peice to the website to be played.
Is that right?
If so I'll have to carry on locally as there's no point doing work on it online if there's no way of it being used afterwards

Benny

There's no publish option yet but of course that will come soon.

Love the online editor, means I can work on my project anywhere I go.

Using it without the walkthrough is a bit of a pain, but what i'm doing is setting up a action at the start moving the player to the room i'm working on, and putting the items needed in the inventory too.

Just one issue if anyone can help out.
I'm using the give command online, but when I play the game, it comes out with "what object do you want to give it to?
then lists all the objects in the room.
I want to give a 50p peice to a person so,
1. They are not a object
2. Its looks daft trying to give things to a chair, a table or a flag

Any ideas?

Benny

This is new in Quest 5.2. It's so the user doesn't have to type anything to be able to give something to somebody.

It just shows all objects in the current scope, the same as you get in the panes on the right. If you think this should be filtered, please let me know how you think this should be done.
