Ask/Tell Question

05 Jul 2016, 23:32Ok i'm new so let me apologize for asking this question.
I'm doing Quest, and i'm trying to let the player question another character.
I'm putting everything in, I put all the questions in the Ask/Tell, But whenever I put anything in during the game, I can't question him at all.
I don't even know if I'm starting this the right way .
Can anyone help me? I appreciate it.

06 Jul 2016, 00:26I haven't used 'tell' much, but the 'ask/Ask' is merely a 'yes:true/no:false' Question:
ask ("Are you a male?") {
// quest automatically (hidden from you) sets the 'result' Variable to your selection: result = your_selection_choice
if (result) {
player.sex = "male"
} else {
player.sex = "female"
}
}

When playing are you typing 'ask (or tell) Fred about [topic]'?

06 Jul 2016, 00:44No i'm typing "Ask librarian about Grimheld Family" and that doesnt work, and deviations on that dont work either. I have all the "ask" On the ask filled out, and I don't look at the code at all.
But I have it as Ask:Question (Text)
Then after choosing run script as the answer to the question?
Is that backwards?
Should I put the answer to the question in the Tell category?

If you type in ask librarian about man versus and the librarian has two men in her ask box (young man and old man) there is no way to determine which you want to ask about.
