I should know this (I've been saying this a lot lately)...

but when I add a verb to an object, sometimes I can't add multiple verbs at once. The example I gave is one of them and I'm pretty sure that it has happened before with similar verbs.

I have the object children and they are playing a game. I want to add the verb 'watch' to the children, but I also want to add the verb 'observe' since they mean the same thing. When I type 'watch; observe' it deletes the 'observe' part. Is that because it is a bulit-in equivalent to 'look at'? If so, is there a way to remove that. In this game, I'd like to use verbs a little more often instead of trying to encompass everything in a command.

I would like to 'look at' the children/game and get a description that explains that they are playing a game of some sort, but I also want a more detailed description of the game (which is important to my game) when the player observes or watches the children/game more closely.

Thanks!

Create your own verb in the Verbs folder of your project, but give it a name like "watchObserve" or something. Then it won't collide with the standard verb. You should find it at the bottom of the list when you go to add a verb to an object.
