Everything works splendidly and I'm quite pleased with Quest! Only one bump in the road so far: I cannot get a container to contain anything. I've followed the directions in the tutorial explicitly...and it doesn't seem to work. The selected objects do not appear in the selected container...even when I do precisely the very same example used in the tutorial.

Make sure the container is marked as "Container" on the container tab.

If you attach your game .asl file here (click reply, then use "Upload attachment" tab under the submit/preview/save draft buttons) then we can take a look.

Here is one version.

In the kitchen I would like the three contents of the refrigerator (the eggs, beer and bologna) to be contained within it.

In the bedroom I would like to have two items (the book and gun) sitting on the surface of the night stand (I would rather have them contained in a drawer, but I gave up trying to create a container called "drawer" that would contain anything at all).

Ideally, I would like to have none of the contents of these objects visible until someone opens or looks at the containers.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Actually, I should have said that the feature works erratically. Occasionally, objects do appear within a container and are listed in the game properly. But this has occurred only a couple of times. For the most part, I cannot get objects that are attached to a container to appear within it.

Looks like it should work, but you've added your own "open" verb. Remove that and your objects will actually be open-able... then you'll be able to see inside them.

I'll give that a shot...but I had only added my own "open" verb after everything else had failed...

I'll let you know what happens...

Thanks!

There are no extraneous "open" verbs in this version. At least none that are visible to me.

Yes there is...

Aha! How did that get left in there?

Let me see about that...

Hoorah! Thanks!
