Combining Created Items

New to using Quest~

I have successfully combined two sets of items to create two new items; however, when I try to combine the two created items together nothing happens or it says they cannot be used this way.
I've tried setting them as visible/invisible, chaning their parent, etc... I'm really not sure what to do.

[Walkthrough for problem:
go east
look cabinet
untie twine
take board

go south
take chopsticks

go west
look fire pit
take geode
look vent
take nest

use nest with board
use chopsticks with twine

use bow drill with platform <<Error: this should create the flaming nest..]


Help anyone?

The reason why is this:

1) You have an object in your game named "bow drill" that has the scripts attached to it to handle "use", etc. That is a pre-existing object.
2) When the player uses the chopsticks on the twine, you create a *new* object named "bow drill" using create("bow drill"). This replaces your object that has the necessary scripts with a new blank object which does not.

If you get rid of the create's in your code that are replacing your predefined objects, then the existing objects will come into play, and all should be well.
