Hi - I need some help with Quest messages order...

Hi

I recently discovered Quest after doing some searching on the Internet with fond memories of early Spectrum games like The Hobbit, Eureka and the excellent Quill. I never got into using Quill, but I never forgot it either.

Now that I've told everyone how old I am :) I wonder if anyone can help me with this problem? I have some scripts that output messages, but it seems that Quest messages are always output last. Sometimes my custom messages are actually part of the description, and since I have set up my automatic room descriptions to start with the name, then description, then objects and finally exist, it looks odd if my custom messages are last. I should like to group the custom message text with the description, which means they should come third. Is there any way I can do this?

Many thanks in advance
Jason


Put your custom messages into the description. Either use the text processor commands, or set the description to run a script, rather than text, and print the original text plus your custom stuff in there (copy the existing description first, otherwise you will lose it).


Thanks.
