help with bugs please!!!

16 Aug 2013, 18:19hi all, I am still new to this program but have been trying to make a relatively large game. I know I should start off small and I have by making a couple other games as tester for myself to gain knowledge on how this program works. I started this rpg and wasn't having a whole lot of difficulty until it came to quest, tasks, and combat, I know I have asked people in the past and have gotten help. I have a basic idea of what to do but got lost in the sea of scripts now I can't delete certain scripts to rewrite them can some one please help on this please? Once I get the scripting I need for linking quest together (to complete a task) and combat I can focus on my story and inputting all the descriptions, interactive npc's, further quest etc. As you can tell if you download I am putting a lot into it want a large game with many different things to do. Like having joinable guild halls, general store, an inn, pub, blacksmith etc. So if you can help that would be great for the advancement on this game.
P.S. I do not know scripting but I will post the coding and upload file.

17 Aug 2013, 06:51Can you give some specific things that aren't working in your game, so we can work on fixing them, one thing at a time, it'd make it easier for me anyways, as it's hard to scour through your game, trying to figure out what you want done, and thus then looking for the problems that you have with doing the stuff you want done.
--------------
what's publically available so far, is what is publically available so far, lol. Be patient and hope others will provide more coding, or try to slowly learn to code on your own ~ making your own code (and share it with us... or keep it to yourself, but then you'll have to listen to new noobs asking for such coding too... lol) that you need for building~making your game. Libraries are blue prints, it's up to you to use them to build your own stuff, and asking people to code (ie make) your game, is asking quite a lot of them. Asking for more "in-depth" coding beyond a "blue print" library's coding, is basically asking them to code in your game for you... I'll try to do what I can to help, but it's a lot of work to help others, as I am also trying to work on learning more at coding for progressing on my own game making, on top of the busy-ness of my real world life, lol.
here's the link to the libraries: ( viewforum.php?f=18 )
check out these Libraries, in particular:
Hint Coding (Pixie): ( viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3802 )
Journal Coding (Pixie): ( viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2610 )
Shop Coding: ( viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2557 )
Score Coding: ( viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2627 )
and whatever you can find is this discussion forum, in its threads~posts, too.
--------------------
whether working with code or the GUI~Editor, both requires "code~computer logic" thinking~mindset of your brain, which isn't easy to shift your brain's thinking this way. The brain is far beyond non-organic circuitry, we have no clue that we're actually communicating just as a computer does, through the use of "ifs", ie Conditionals, (orc is not dead -> if orc is not dead -> then, fight with orc -> you kill orc ~hopefully~ and now it is "dead", lol -> try to fight with orc again -> if orc is dead -> and since the orc is indeed now dead -> then, you fail to fight with it, as it is dead) and "3-way handshakes" ( 1~"hi, and did you hear me?" -> 2~"yes, I heard you, you said, hi, correct?" -> 3~"yes, indeed, I said hi to you" -> 1~"ah, good, and now I'm saying hi back to you, and did you hear me say hi back to you? -> etc etc etc). But for computers, we've and they've got to literally spell this out to them and themselves as part of the communication, and that's~this' what we call "coding", hehe.

17 Aug 2013, 20:481. your "intro_function" function is not activating ("Calling") at start of game
Game (Object) -> Script (Tab) -> Start script -> Add new script -> Scripts -> Call function ->
Call function: intro_function
with parameters (add): (leave blank)
2. wrong order of functions in your "global_game_turns" turnscript
Game -> Script (Tab) -> Turn scripts -> double click on the "global_game_turns" in the big add box ->
global_game_turns -> Turn Script (Tab, there's only one tab, lol) -> Script -> click on the "game_turn_function" Call Function box so that it is highlighted light blue -> click on the blue down arrow to move it below (after) the "leveling_function" Call function box. My leveling_function must be run~executed~activated BEFORE an adder~increaser of the "player.turns" script (which this adder script is contained within the called upon function: "game_turn_function"). The "leveling_function" call function box, should now correctly be above (before) the "game_turn_function" call function box below (after).
in code, it'll look like this:
whereas, you had it wrongly like this:
3. in your intro_function, I notice that you don't seem to quite understand an important concept.
once you set ("SAVE") the "result" to an "object.attribute", you can now use that "object.attribute" (which is the point of doing this), instead of "result".
for example:
choose class: archer, warrior, mage
I choose: "warrior"
the "show menu" script internally temporarily (locally) sets "result" = "warrior"
and then when you do this:
player.class = result
you're now PERMANENTLY~GLOBALLY setting it to this: player.class = warrior
you got to think of it "right to left"
result <- warrior
player.class <- result ( <- warrior)
player.class <- warrior
or, if you know math, it's algebraic substitution
A (result) = 10 (warrior)
B (player.class) = A (result)
B (player.class) = 10 (warrior)
and now, instead of using "player.class=result", you can use: "player.class = warrior", so:
if (player.class = warrior), then call "warrior class" function
else if (player.class = mage), then call "mage class" function
else, then call "archer class" function
the reasons for doing this:
1. "result" is not a permanent~global "Setting~Saving", which allows you to use it again and again anywhere, and thus you can't do this, as it's only a temporary~local "Setting~Saving".
2. "result" is used often, and thus you'll have a problem as you use "result" to be your class_choice and your race_choice, as it can't be both of these, lol. for example:
result = human_race
result = warrior_class
if (result = human_race), then do this...
ERROR, there is no "result=human_race".
This is because, "result= warrior_class" RE-SETS "result=human_race" to now being "result=warrior_class".
Also, there's this issue too:
result = human (race)
result = warrior (class)
player.race=result
player.race=warrior
no! I don't want "warrior" as my race, lol

The "leveling_function" call function box, should now correctly be above (before) the "game_turn_function" call function box below (after).

<script>

</script>

I think it would be great if I knew exactly where to input a code at then I could just fiddle around with some already posted codes

18 Aug 2013, 00:05Thanks yeah I didn't change a lot but got more figured out and basically all of it runs besides a couple hiccups. As I spend more time changing scripts I learning what kind of coding to put in them. I will upload my latest version so far I got the name, class, stats, health, couple basic items like gold and exp potion, 1 little quest where you take the orb from an oldman and give it to jane at the village inn then go back to him and receive the potion just as a demo also take the gold to jane at the inn to rent a room. like I said couple hiccups but not a finished game just starting actually, but mostly I wanted to incorporate a combat system with multiple weapons and spells. I tried to use the last combat system you set me but couldn't find the "When Ready" script to make it happen. Also want the combat to go off of stats not just attack for instance ( using str vs str in melee combat, dex vs dex in ranged combat such as bows int vs int vs spells/magic like abilities) I do know how to jut use the randomchance50 but want it to actually add in the stat difference so it leans toward the highest stat rather it just being 50% possibility of either or. If Possible! just want to make a big text rpg to play for several days meeting new npc's, collecting metal srcaps taking them to the black smith to forge you a weapon at a discount, Idk if a game like this exist already but I haven't found one yet 
so wanted to put one out. Thanks
Mike

18 Aug 2013, 02:01I'll try to work on fixing more things with your game code, as I have the time, it's an extremely slow and time consuming process for me, as I'm not that good with coding nor do I know your game well at the moment. People who're better with code, will be able to help you much faster than I can, if they've too got the time, lol. Also, working on trouble shooting your own game, helps a lot with learning to code (and~or using the GUI~Editor too) more and with understanding quest in general too, but you do got to be decent with code already, to be able to trouble shoot, lol. I've been at ~ a year in trying to learn to code in quest, I've come far from being a total noob as I was, but I've not really come that far yet, lol, as coding isn't easy to learn, at least not for me.
------------
so let me instead jump at helping with "simplier" things, ie a small chunk of coding ~ instead of scouring through your entire game code, lol.
GAME MECHANICS Coding:
1. first "testing challenge" for you! Can you understand how this works and explain exactly what it does (this took me a while to craft myself, as game mechanic crafting isn't easy, lol):
here's another Game Mechanic that I crafted: "who goes first"
now, let's look at an "evasion" Game Mechanic:
a "parrying" Game Mechanic:
and here is the rest of the factors put together in full:
and here is a (somewhat) complex damage equation:
(write it out on paper to understand it)
and here's my more recent combat code (it might have errors in it, as I don't think I've tested it yet, as it's just a library file of mine), in full:

18 Aug 2013, 02:36here's just a part of my damage mechanics:
(I'm still working on understanding equipment coding better, so no equipment mechanics implemented~crafted into my combat mechanics yet)
for example:
"player" ~ game.pov ~ "self" = "HK"
"text" ~ "enemy" = "orc"
(HK.strength - orc.endurance) x (HK.physical_damage) + (HK.physical_damage)
..............100.............
so for example:
HK.strength = 100
orc.endurance = 25
HK.physical_damage = 10
(100 - 25) x (10) + (10)
..100..
(75/100) x (10) + (10)
(3/4) x (10) + (10)
(0.75) x (10) + (10)
(7.5) + (10)
7.5 + 10 = 17.5
HK.strength = 100
orc.endurance = 25
HK.physical_damage = 50
(100 - 25) x (50) + (50)
..100..
(75/100) x (50) + (50)
(3/4) x (50) + (50)
(0.75) x (50) + (50)
(37.5) + (50)
37.5 + 50 = 87.7
HK.strength = 100
orc.endurance = 75
HK.physical_damage = 10
(100 - 75) x (10) + (10)
..100..
(25/100) x (10) + (10)
(1/4) x (10) + (10)
(0.25) x (10) + (10)
(2.5) + (10)
2.5 + 10 = 12.5
HK.strength = 100
orc.endurance = 75
HK.physical_damage = 50
(100 - 75) x (50) + (50)
..100..
(25/100) x (50) + (50)
(1/4) x (50) + (50)
(0.25) x (50) + (50)
(12.5) + (50)
12.5 + 50 = 62.5
This has a problem if the orc's endurance is greater than HK's strength... I need to figure out how to craft code to deal with this still, lol.

I think I just now understand what you're exactly refering to with this comment of yours, lol. I am presuming (fingers crossed) that you're refering to the Library Codes, in how to add them to your game?
use the wiki and~or tutorial to read how to add libraries to your game, as I might not explain this fully or nor correctly, lol.
1. get (download and save on your computer where you can find it, lol) the Library Files that you want.
2. move them or copy and paste them, so that the library files are in the same folder as your Game File (which should be in the same folder as the "quest.exe" too. this is so that quest can find and access the library files and your Game File for your game)
3. then you need to add in the "references for those library files" into your game file. I'm not sure how to add libraries through the GUI~Editor, but it's really easy to do in code:
(your game file coding looks like this below when you start a new game):
<asl version="540">
<include ref="English.aslx" />
<include ref="Core.aslx" />
<game name="Testing Game Stuff">
<gameid>d83ba5bb-2e3c-4f31-80c9-3e88a2dc082c</gameid>
<version>1.0</version>
<firstpublished>2013</firstpublished>
</game>
<object name="room">
<inherit name="editor_room" />
<object name="player">
<inherit name="editor_object" />
<inherit name="defaultplayer" />
</object>
</object>
</asl>do you see these two code lines:
<include ref="English.aslx" />
<include ref="Core.aslx" />
these two code lines tell the quest engine to access the default "English.aslx" and "Core.aslx" Library Files, which you can find in the same folder as the "quest.exe", as this is required for the quest engine to find and access these default library files.
so, along with placing your own (or Pixie's or whoever else's, lol) Library File(s) in the same folder as your Game File and the "quest.exe", you just add in these lines (and the placement matters, you want to place them after~below the two default ref=reference=library code lines) to your Game File code, for example:
<asl version="540">
<include ref="English.aslx" />
<include ref="Core.aslx" />
<include ref="name_of_the_library_file_that_you_want_to_add_to_this_game_of_yours.aslx" />
// for example... Pixie's Combat Library File: CombatLibrary1.aslx
// <include ref="CombatLibrary1.aslx" />
// lastly, you can add as many libraries as you want, there's no limit on them, though getting them all to work~sync together will be a problem~challenge... lol
<game name="Testing Game Stuff">
<gameid>d83ba5bb-2e3c-4f31-80c9-3e88a2dc082c</gameid>
<version>1.0</version>
<firstpublished>2013</firstpublished>
</game>
<object name="room">
<inherit name="editor_room" />
<object name="player">
<inherit name="editor_object" />
<inherit name="defaultplayer" />
</object>
</object>
</asl>The added library [ via the <include ref="blah.aslx" /> code line ] puts its entire coding into your game for you, you don't have to copy and paste its code lines yourself while trying to figure out where to paste them. Most Libraries provide "TAB" codings, which gives you the ability to set the extra library stuff via the GUI~Editor, literally creating new TABs, boxes, and etc in the GUI~Editor for you to click on and etc, hehe.
start up any game file, with a quick eye you may be able to spot the fast scrolling text of ~"initializing 'core' and 'english' libraries" (or whatever it says), you're seeing the quest engine adding all the coding of these two libraries into your game (such as the "take" and "drop" verbs into your game, without the "Core" library's coding being initialized, there would be no "take" nor "drop" features in your GUI~Editor to setup nor to use either). And if you added you own libraries, you'll see it "initializing" them too in the fast scrolling text as your game is loaded up, lol. You can see~test for yourself, make a new game, and in its coding, delete the <include ref="Core.aslx" /> code line, and then start up the game, and see what happens... try the same with instead deleting the <include ref="English.aslx" /> code line, or try deleting both of them too.
but, you got to fill in the needed code lines or stuff (attributes and etc) that the library requires.
4. start up your game file, and enjoy the extra abilities in the GUI~editor for you to make your game with, from those libraries that you added to your game, hehe.

If Possible!
without realizing it, you pretty much explain how to correctly do what you want, lol.
you just need to create~add the attributes to your objects ("player" and "enemies"), for examples (in quasi code):
hero_onimike.strength = 100
hero_onimike.hit_points = 999
hero_onimike.physical_damage = 500
evil_archmage.endurance = 25
evil_archmage.intelligence = 100
evil_archmage.hit_points = 9999
evil_archmage.mana_points = 999
in your "fight" Verb:
for a physical attack:
[evil_archamge.hit_points] = [evil_archmage.hit_points] - [ ( hero_onimike.strength - evil_archmage.endurance) / 100] + [ hero_onimike.physical_damage ]
and another example for something different:
if (RandomChance (onimike.armor_class - troll_axethrower.attack_rating) = true) {
-> msg ("The troll's iron axe is unable to penetrate your mithril armor. No damage is done to you!")
} else {
-> onimike.hit_points = onimike.hit_points - troll_axethrower.physical_damage
-> msg ("The troll's diamond axe slices right through your iron armor. The troll does " + troll_axethrower.physical_damage + " damage to you. You have" + onimike.hit_points + " HP remaining.")
}
for example:
onimike.armor_class = 100
troll_axethrower.attack_rating = 0
you'll ALWAYS (100% chance) of: true = true, and thus no damage to you ever, hehe.
---------------
Useful wiki pages for coding:
http://quest5.net/wiki/Category:All_Fun ... t_Commands
http://quest5.net/w/index.php?title=Cat ... h#mw-pages
an EXTERMELY valuable function:
http://quest5.net/wiki/GetRandomInt
GetRandomInt ( minimum_range_amount_number , maximum_range_amount_number )
you can do lots of cool stuff with this, such as A.I. behavior, and etc...
within the "fight" verb with the final boss, his "battle_turn_scripting" chunk of code:
result_x = GetRandomInt (0, 3)
switch (result_x) {
case (0) {
// attack scripts~coding
msg ("the final boss physically attacks you with his tainted cursed black humongous bloody deadly decapitation axe!")
}
case (1) {
// casting damage spells scripts~coding
msg ("the final boss casts his ultimate spell 'oblivion' upon you... gulp!")
}
case (2) {
// casting heal spells scripts~coding
msg ("the final boss casts his ultimate healing spell, he is back to full hit points!")
}
case (3) {
// vulnerability coding
msg ("the final boss is finally temporarily vulnerable, now you can do damage to him! Kick his butt like the fate of the world depends upon it!")
}
}
anotehr usage:
if (RandomChance (GetRandomInt (0,100)) = true) {
-> // blah coding
}
more usage examples:
1. onimike.strength = onimike.strength + GetRandomInt (1,5)
2. such as for a healing item or spell:
onimike.hit_points = onimike.hit_points + GetRandomInt (GetInt (onimike, "spirituality"), GetInt (onimike, "intelligence") + GetInt (onimike, "spirituality") + GetInt (onimike, "mentality"))
the code probably won't work, but meh, it's an example of how it can be used-------------------------
P.S.
here's a way to write in code via through the GUI~Editor:
Add a~new script -> Output -> Print a message -> Print [EXPRESSION] ->
now you can write in your code, such as a game mechanic code. this way, you're doing it through the GUI~Editor, so you're already putting it into where you want it (and it'll do it for you ~ you don't have to find or figure out what scripts to use in the GUI~Editor ~ this was difficult for me, so direct coding is easier for me, lol), instead of trying to figure out where to put it into your game code itself, as all you got to do is to write what you want it to do, such as:
else ->
-> Add a~new script -> Output -> Print a message -> Print [EXPRESSION] ->
Print [EXPRESSION] if (enemy_attack_failed = false)
->-> Add a~new script -> Output -> Print a message -> Print [EXPRESSION] ->
Print [EXPRESSION] if (enemy.defending = true and self.defending = true)
->->-> Add a~new script -> Output -> Print a message -> Print [EXPRESSION] ->
Print [EXPRESSION] self.current_health_points = self.current_health_points - (critical_hit_function (enemy) * 2 * GetInt (enemy,"physical_damage") / 2 + GetInt (enemy,"physical_damage") * (GetInt (enemy,"strength") - GetInt (self,"endurance")) / 100)
the "print [EXPRESSION]" script, or in Code: msg (your_coding), is the ultimate script, it'll do any and all scripts for you, you just type in what you want (though you have to type in coding, aka it has to be correctly written, lol)

18 Aug 2013, 15:17Yes thank you I was gonna ask so where do I put stuff like this in ""[evil_archamge.hit_points] = [evil_archmage.hit_points] - [ ( hero_onimike.strength - evil_archmage.endurance) / 100] + [ hero_onimike.physical_damage ]"" but you explained as set a variable or print message expression. I will deff be working on the library thing cause if I understand right you can put any code into it and it automatically puts it in the right spot, correct me if im wrong lol. But thank you again for all your help because I tried to find other post but their all the same at least you try to direct people where they need to go and how to go about doing it Im really gonna try to figure
the rest of this combat thing out today

18 Aug 2013, 22:00well, not exactly, a library file is just extra coding that is added to a game file (if you're a gamer, than think of a library file as a "patch or expansion pack" for your game), I'm not sure of all of the rules of it, such as if you can include Game Object code lines for the main instance, anyways.
-----------
I meant that you can put any code into the GUI-Editor's "Print Message" ( Print [EXPRESSION] ) script, and it'll automatically change that code into the correct GUI~Editor scripts for you. I was NOT refering to a library file about this topic that I was talking about with you.
for example:
Add a~new script -> Output -> Print a message -> Print [EXPRESSION] -> Print [EXPRESSION] HK.strength = HK.strength + 100
even though we used the "message" script, the GUI~Editor will change it automatically for you into the:
Variables -> Set a variable or attribute script
-------------
I think I'm probably just confusing you with these posts, lol. As I'm explaining things as if you got a good understanding of quest and its coding already, lol.
-------------
first, labels (I often use the quotation marks to highlight labels in my posts) can be anything you want, you can use whatever system for naming and organizing that you want.
I use the word "label" so not to confuse it with specifically the built-in "NAME" and "ALIAS" attributues.
Also, labels must match up:
if I create a "strength" integer attribute for the "player" Player Object, then if I want to use that "strength" attribute in my "fight" verb of an "orc" Object, then I have to use exactly the same spelling, "strength", for it.
--------------
"where to put~add stuff~code lines?"
work with the GUI~Editor, until you're ready (or if you should ever want to) work with the code.
if you're trying to do combat, the simpliest way is to do it as a Verb of an Object, such as of an "orc or dragon or snake" Object
you add scripts (such as my somewhat complex damage script) to your "fight or attack or combat or battle" Verb
------
if you were wanting to create~add dialogue scripts usually they would be added as a "talk, speak, chat, or whatever" Verb of that Object, such as a "tavern_owner".
------
etc etc etc, not very complicated...
and if you were to or want to add scripts via in-Code:
you just need to recognize the code, so you can identify were to put in your script.
for example:
we want to add a "turns" (which starts at zero) integer attribute onto our Game Object (we're ignoring the usually desire of also making it show up in the display as you're playing the game of additional code~work~setup that is required to do this)
GUI~Editor:
Game -> Attributes (Tab) -> Attributes -> Add ->
Name: turns
Type: int (integer)
Value: 0
in-Code:
we need to know~find~recognize the Game Object code block, which is:
<game name="blah">
</game>
then we just add in our script (though we have to know how write it in code to add it correctly):
<game name="blah">
-> <turns type="int">0</turns>
</game>
anotehr example:
let's pretend we're adding in a "character_creation_function" to our "start" script of the Game Object
GUI~Editor:
Game -> Scripts (Tab) -> Start script -> Add ->
Add a~new script -> scripts (I think) -> Call Function ->
Name: character_creation_function
Value: (leave blank)
Function -> Add -> (create your "character_creation_function")
in-Code:
<game name="blah">
-> <start type="script">
->-> character_creation_function
-> </start>
</game>
--------------------
I don't know the GUI~Editor that well, it was a bit confusing for me lol, so, but here's just some examples that I know of (hopefully correctly):
(if we could get the conversions of Code and GUI~Editor up on the wiki, that'd be really helpful, but it'd be a lot of work, lol)
IN-CODE ~ IN-GUI-EDITOR
msg ("blah") ~ Add a-new script -> Output -> Print a message -> Print [EXPRESSION] -> Print [EXPRESSION] blah blah blah
object.attribute = blah blah blah ~ Add a-new script -> Variables -> Set an attribute or variable -> set attribute [blah] blah blah
orc.dead=false -> orc.dead=true ~ Add a-new script -> Objects -> SetObjectFlagOn -> blah blah blah (however it's setup as, lol)
if (blah) ~ Add a-new script -> Scripts -> If -> add a-new script -> blah blah blah

18 Aug 2013, 22:27most actions or events (such as combat, conversations, shopping, and etc etc) are done through the use of Objects' Verbs:
Object -> Verb (Tab) -> Add -> add the scripts to make the action or event happen, which is then activated by clicking on the object's "blah" Verb button in the right side displays or by the hyperlinks (the blue text you can click on) during game play.
there's other ways to implement actions or events into your game, but they're more advanced~complicated, such as by using COMMANDS, TURNSCRIPTS, TIMERS, and whatever other means~ways, lol.
Using the GUI-Editor, and the individual Objects' Verb Tab, is the most noob-friendly way to put actions or events into your game, as you know.

19 Aug 2013, 00:11I just made a new thread, a guide on starting building a combat script block:
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3872
it's very noob-friendly: STEP BY STEP IN THE GUI~EDITOR
it took me some effort and time, so hopefully you'll be appreciative, and hopefully it'll be actually helpful too, lol, hehe

wow very awesome !!! its funny you posted this because before you did I went to the combat library they have here and copied the code and put it in spaced twice under the library section and wouldn't you know it worked which is awesome if your starting from scratch and know how to implement into it. I will eventually learn code as I will begin my course in Itt-Tech to learn coding, programming etc. but for now this will be my beginnings lol and yes I see what you mean the codes are way simpler to see then scripting but still a pain but the scripting gets complicating also as you need basics of coding as well. Wish there was a program with every tab, button, verb, combat, etc. needed to run any basic rpg or rpg type game because doing most of it became very apparent to me but for some reason I had a heck of a time with this lol.
Thanks again

that's what I'm slowly trying to build for myself, lol. An ultimate "kit" (library) for building Quest RPGs, hehe. This will take a long long long long... lol.
I've been using quest's coding, learning it's coding and thus also learning to code somewhat in general too. Quest's coding is really noob-friendly, just take some coding such as the "character creation" code, study and learn it, then take some library's coding, study and learn it, and slowly you start to build up more coding knowledge, learning to code, to code better, and etc. The main hurdle is getting your brain~mind to think in terms of "coding logic" (and then organizing your code work too, lol). Looking at codings after codings, slowly develops your "coding logic" thinking, you see how to do things "in the code way" and after a bit your brain~mind adapts, thinking in this way, making it easier and easier to code for you. The structure of coding seems the same, but each coding language has it's own format (and more or less usage of symbols; more symbols = the less typing~pages, but harder to memorize~learn. Quest uses~requires hardly any symbol usage which makes it probably one of the easiest code languages to learn).
I've been able to learn to code a bit in my computer's command prompt feature and making~using batch (.bat) files, but it's very limited in what it can do, lol. And learning its format and syntax is a pain... Quest is really a great code language for learning to code, hehe. I figured that the command prompt is a good place to start in learning other coding languages, start simple and older coding language, lol. At some point maybe I'll look at learning these other coding languages like C#, C++, Java, Java Script, and etc. When I feel that I'm ready to do so, lol. I understand how you don't want to be doing multiple coding languages at once, as you'll get all of the symbols, formats, and syntax for each of them mixed up, which makes for numerous "ERRORS" when writing the code, lol. Right now though, I'm still just trying to learn the different basic coding aspects, such as doing things in Quest, I'm still shaky on equipment coding, still need to learn more of working with lists, dictionaries, and iteration coding, completely haven't yet started to learn to coding of "strings" (or I think this is also known as "parsing" coding... lol), don't really understand magic coding much either, trying to understand and code in "time" SCARES ME = Pixie's Clock Library... and etc etc etc etc etc... lol
