Bacause of the style of the game im working on at the moment i do not need the examine feature, but really need an "Interact" or "Action" feature.
Basically, what i want to know is how to change the button that says "Examine" so that it will say "Interact" when playing a game. Does anyone know how?

I doubt the button can be changed. But even if you did, you'd need to change the "examine" command in the game as well for those of us (around 99.99%) who don't use the buttons.

I wouldn't mind an interact command put into Quest

use synonyms :

define synonyms
interact = examine
end define


so when pple type "interact", it will run the command "examine"

you can try also to change in the file "english.ldf"

examine: Examine

->

examine: Interact

in your Quest folder. But I think you'll need to compile the game so it won't interfere with the player's own library

Well cheers guys. But the one problem is....my new game encourages the use of the buttons rather than typing in, but i guess i coudl do as Favardin suggested and encourage typing, then i could use his suggestion. Thanks anyways guys.
