Online version objects not working

I can't imagine what I am doing wrong. I can't "look at" any objects. Exits work fine. I know the online version is limited, but this is just basic object descriptions I'm trying to achieve. It keeps telling me it cannot see that. I access this site from many different computers, the reason I use it at all is so I can pick up where I left off at any given time no matter where I am. Is there no solution?

Can you post a link to your game, or can you post the code?

The best way to post code is with three of these things ```. (Hitting the ~ button without shift)
blah

if (player.game1 = true) {
  msg ("You did it!")
}

Also, you didn't mess around with the commands, did you? I had that problem, and the only thing that worked was deleting the offending code, and then wait for the problem to fixed itself, after I had already given up a long time ago. If you are using a desktop version, you may edit the game in a code editor like Wordpad.

I didn't add or change any code. I simply entered the text I wanted displayed in the indicated box.

I'm sure someone might know what the problem is, but without seeing your code it's just guesswork.

Are the objects' scenery options checked?

I've tried multiple ways. I've put it as an object that is seen, not seen, had it available to click, or not to click. Left the default prefixes and suffixes, as well as changed them to something else. I also tried adding my own "look" command as well, but the program won't let you do that as it interferes with the already default commands. Pretty much anything that has to do with any object displays "I can't see that."

Hmm, I'm not sure what happened, I think it might have just been a glitch. I created a new test game with a variety of objects and they all seem to be working perfectly. I can't figure out what is different about the objects in my first game, but I'm just going to scrap the whole thing and start over, see if that fixes whatever the issue was.

Okay, cool. Glad you found a solution.
