24 Aug 2021, 07:36hello so im trying to make a basic "computer" in my game where you have only like 2 or 3 things to do on it....but I'm having trouble figuring out how, I tried to get my object computer to switch on and ask a question but I found no way to edit the yes or no response this is my first time using quest so if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it, thank you

What yes or no response?
Quest doesn't have a built-in computer object, so we don't know what you're doing. If you want someone to tell you the problem with the method you're using, you need to tell us what that method is.
My best guess is that you're using the Ask
function, which asks a yes or no question. If you want to ask a question with different options, you need to use ShowMenu
instead. It works in pretty much the same way; but you provide it with a list of options.
Is that what you're after?

This then lets you then use the "ask computer about" function. This allows you to ask computer about multiple words, objects etc etc. And it is fun making up conversations and replies etc.
You can either use the built in option of the object having an on off switch or you could simply have another object called "power button", described when you look at computer. Then a command "press button" with the computer then becoming active, using the flag script function (if computer has flag "button pressed")
Then all "ask computer about" scripts have either an answer from it (that you text) or a another text saying "the computer is not switched on yet".
