Hey!
So, I'm completely new to Quest, and I need to know how to do two things.
1. How to insert a text box e.g. "Type your name down here" and a text box below to type your name in. I want to be able to create asimple dialogue like this:
"What is your name?
*TEXT BOX HERE*
Hello {name you entered}!"

2. Can I embed a .zip file in my game?
Basically, I want to be able to put a .zip file in my game.

Is this a gamebook? Why do you want to include a zip file?

1. Use the get input script command.

2. You can embed any type of file you like, you just have to tell Quest which ones to include. Have a look on the attributes tab of the game object for an attribute called publishfileextensions, and add *.zip to the string. Be aware that Quest 5.6 has a bug that prevents you accessing any included file using the GetFile function, so Silver's question is important.
