Hi I can't get my scrips to run properly, if i type "switch off tv" it just repeats what i have typed in. Then when i go back to the script editor there is nothing there. Can anyone help.
Thanks paul.

I presume you are trying to follow the tutorial? If so can you please let me know which specific section you are having trouble with - what script are you trying to add?

Hi re the scripts first of all i am running the latest version of quest 4.1.2 I am following the tutorial to the letter for the House game, i want to run a script for the look Message and Watch Message. This is what i do,
click run a script double click "Modify" select "Property" click room drop down list select "TV" in the property data box type in Look=The Tv is an old model possibly 20 years old, it is currently switched off. Click OK
when i go to the game and type look at tv it comes back with look at tv and i get the same reply with the "watch script" watch tv What am i doing wrong?
Thanks Paul.

Are you setting up the scripts for the correct verb?
That script looks like it should go in the TV's "switch off" verb.
Then when you switch off the TV, its description will be changed. Do you have an initial "look" description set up for the TV?
If you attach your ASL file to this forum post I can take a look to see exactly what's happening.
