Ask/Tell in tutorial

08 Mar 2014, 02:07Hi,
I am trying to follow the tutorial.
I am at http://quest5.net/wiki/More_things_to_do_with_objects, and I am not able to find the "Ask/Tell" tab, or how to enable it. I suspect that this is replaced by the "Verbs" tab. Can someone let me know about the "Ask/Tell" tab?
Thanks!

14 Apr 2014, 16:06I am having the same problem, and there is no ask/tell under features. I have use/give, container, switchable, edible, and player -- that's it. Any thoughts?

14 May 2014, 22:09I'm having the same problem, and I still don't understand the solution. I can't see the Ask/Tell tab, and there is no checkbox for the ask/tell feature in any object's Features menu. My earlier game has the ask/tell tab visible for all the objects, but the game I started this morning doesn't.
Could you clarify the solution for me? I'm using the web version, if it makes any difference.

15 May 2014, 03:21You need to enable it in the "game" object to have it show up in the others.
- Click on the "game" object in the left pane.
- Click on the "Features" tab that shows up (second from the left, beside Setup)
- Check the second-from-the-bottom checkbox for "Ask/Tell"
Then you can use the feature in your objects.
