Tell a cab driver destination not on drop-down

17 Apr 2018, 15:58I need to have a Player solve a puzzle that gives them a destination to tell a cab driver. Then the driver asked "Where to? " and they type a response. Then the driver takes them there and the exit to the new location.
I can seem to find a tutorial... And I'm not a programmer so I'm a bit lost. Any suggestions?

your typed-in input is stored into the 'result' Variable VARIABLE, which you can then use within your scripting
example scripting:
msg ("Where to?")
get input {
// the 'get input' automatically (hidden from you) stores your typed-in input into the 'result' Variable VARIABLE:
// result = "YOUR_TYPED_IN_INPUT"
if (result = "CORRECT_DESTINATION") {
player.parent = CORRECT_DESTINATION
msg ("The cab driver takes you to the CORRECT_DESTINATION")
} else {
msg ("wrong input destination, try again")
}
}

But, if you add several possible locations then have the cabby take them there, even if it is the wrong address...
