Hi all, I hope you have had a nice Christmas?

I have created an object - a signpost - in the first location of my game. I have created a "sub-object" - the arms - defining the signpost as the parent object, as well as four separate objects for the north, south, east and west arms, also defining the signpost as the parent object.

When I play the game I can see the signpost and examine it, but when I try to examine the arms or the individual arms I get "I can't see that!"

What have I done wrong.

Game file attached.

Thanks.

I was able to get it to work more or less by making the signpost a container, and then setting it to "surface". This made all the arms show up in the room description and in the "Places and Objects" pane (which is probably not desirable), so I then went to each arm (and "arms") and set them all to "Scenery". That way, you can "x" them, but they don't show up in any lists.

(I could post the file back again, but I have the Quest 5.5 beta. If you have that as well, then I'll attach the file, if you still need it after the above.)

Hi jaynabonne,

I have fixed this by moving the "sub-objects" to the crossroads location and defining them as scenery objects.

Thanks for replying.

That's a simpler solution. I'm glad it worked for you.
