Hi, sorry to bother you all but does anyone know how to use the new visible/invisible object scripts yet? It's totally eluding me, I have tried creating objects within a container and making them invisible. Then when the times appropriate to make the object visible. I E :- Make visible (object), but alas nothing happens. Excuse me for being thick but do I have to tell it to print something after the command to enable it to print the name of the object. I'm a bit red faced by now so I need a makeover. LOL. :oops: aw what the hell :D :D :D :D Have a good day all. Thanks

Make visible will make an object visible - if you want to print a message as well, you need to do that separately. You should see the visible object appear in the "Places and Objects" list, and when you type "look".

If not, then something is broken, so please attach your aslx file.

Oh I see, it's my fault Alex I am writing the game without the Show panes showing, like the 70s style where you typed in commands from the input line. Although I am showing pictures here and there as well, so it's just not a text adventure. I can get it working by printing the expression [FormatObjectList(player.parent.objectslistprefix, GetNonTransparentParent(player.parent), Template("And"), ".", false)] after finding the object. So many thanks for your input have a good day :D :D :D :D Terry
