Does anybody know how I can enable the player to drink water? So far you can type "drink water" and the game will tell you that you did. But the water does not disappear. I've only been using Quest for 2 days now.

You can add remove object script or move it to an unused room for storage. So after drink water move water to storage then you can reuse water later, what I like to do is use water.volume and add to this volume for more then 1 drink then once you drink decrease counter water.volume then run a if object water counter = 0 then move water to storage

Hope it helps

Thanks. I'll try my best to understand that code language. :P

How do I make it so when you type "drink water", it considers the move as taking the object?

Where you added the drink water script add another script, look under objects and find "move object to object"

Ok so in your object "water" make a verb called "drink" then instead of protein message click drop down tab and choose run a script. After that hit the code view button and add this

msg ("You drink water.")
MoveObject (this, Storage)

And should work

or here is a quick water system i put together for those who want it

Thanks laddy.

Might be able to help with this. I recently overhauled my "Water System" --- so if you need help with collecting, storing, drinking, filling or anything, let me know :)

there's two ways to get typed-in input by the person playing the game / during game play:

1. the 'get input' Script (run as script -> add new script -> 'output' section/category -> 'get input' Script, http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/guides/character_creation.html )
2. using Commands (left side's "tree of stuff" -> Commands -> Add -> set it up, http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/elements/command.html )
