Hello,

Is there any way to change the text of wait { }?

Thanks!

Hi wdele have a look into this on another thread.

There is a way if it's what I think you mean Terry :D Happy Adventuring :D

That thread explains how to change the styling of the wait. I think what the OP wants is the ContinueLabel template.

In the desktop Quest you need to go to Advanced -> Templates (and make sure the Filter at the bottom of the game tree window has 'Show Library Elements' checked). Then in Templates find ContinueLabel, select it, and click the 'Copy' button (which is in the upper right hand corner). Then you can modify that text.

I'm not sure if it's the same for the web Quest.

Along with what george said, you can also just run the script (from code view)

request (SetInterfaceString, "ContinueLabel=your_text_goes_here")

Where your_text_goes_here is, well... your text. (whatever you want it to change to)

Do you just insert that as is into the code or do you need to wrap it in some tags?

What do you mean by that?

In code view I've noticed code is wrapped in tags like <object>, <command>, and so on.

Oh, well... Yes and no.
You can just add it to the mini-code view in any place that says 'Add New Script' in the GUI. (such as the start script)
You don't actually have to go into the mega-code view for this one

That crashed my start script, eh...

And by the way, I use the web version of Quest, if that's any help :)

EDIT: Nevermind that last bit (if you read it). I forgot what thread this was :lol:

Are you getting an error?
Please note that you shouldn't put quotes in there. For example, instead of
request (SetInterfaceString, "ContinueLabel="blahblah"")

it should be just
request (SetInterfaceString, "ContinueLabel=blahblah")
// ^Without quotes

Well, Sora, that does not work. Maybe it does, but since the Code View of the online Quest sucks, since you always get an error when pasting or editing something, I can't use that...

Umm...

I didn't get an error at all. What are you seeing?

'Internal Error Occured'. I contacted Alex already, but he won't reply.
