I am getting confused with this - I see the Ask/Tell tab and tried that, but when I run the game am not seeing the desired result. I want the player to ask a robot about one of the following three things: games, virtual worlds, simulations. Example:

Ask robot about games.

Ask robot about simulations.

The results should be a line of text only.

Thanks in advance.

here's some links for you:

http://quest5.net/wiki/More_things_to_do_with_objects (scroll down to the bottom for the "Ask/Tell", though you may want to read the entire page, as it is related to how "Ask/Tell" works and how you set it up to work)

--------------

"Ask" is a built-in specifically designed Command that uses a Script Dictionary
