Command Folders

I'm currently making a text adventure game using Quest.

The problem I'm having, though, is I seem to have too many commands on my editing page. Like, the command list is too big to scroll through and I only know it's going to get worse as I continue to make the game. I was wondering if I could make folders to put commands in to separate them. Whenever I tried, however, the commands don't work in-game. Any solutions?

And thanks. :)

Quest looks for commands in a specific place, so no, you cannot put them in folders (or objects).

If a command is for a specific room, you can put it inside that room, and it will only work for that room (this is why folders will not work, by the way).

I am wondering why you have so many. Are you aware that one command can match multiple input text?

You could look at using verbs instead.

Thanks for the room tip. It worked. :)

^^' It's my first game made with Quest so I kind of made it strangely. I've basically tried to have all the responses work like a gamebook would, only using commands. But I've already been working on it for a while so I don't really want to change it. :)
