Just got into Quest - programming with QDK, and am having trouble with the 'order' of scripting / procedures etc. and wonder if someone can help me out?

I have two objects in two different rooms: A bookshelf and a statue

Examine the statue, you reveal a lever
Examine the bookshelf, you reveal two books

I've written the scripts for each as procedures, and in each object's 'Examine...' box, I've chosen : run script - run procedure 'x'

Problem is, whatever script I apply to the bookshelf is immediately applied to the statue too, and vice versa.

Any ideas...?

Thanks

Pass the procedure a variable and use this to seperate out the results...

Please open up your saved file (using notepad) and copy&paste the whole file up here - it helps alot.

I'll work on something and upload a file for you to see what I mean... Gimme a couple of hours (I got some other stuff to do).

Oddly, the software just stopped doing that, and I've just been messing around with structure and relationships in procedures.

I'll post my save later.

Thanks, Computer Whizz!

This sounds like the bug I fixed a few weeks ago. I still haven't updated the main Quest setup file yet, but you can get the updated QDK by going to the Help menu and clicking "Check for updates". Download the ZIP file, close QDK and put the new QDK.EXE in your Quest directory.

Cheers Alex. As I said above, the system rather suddenly stopped throwing that particular glitch.

It was strange to change the properties of one and find it had transferred to the other! For a while, befuddled, I was convinced that there was some deep, teribble web of architecture.

But nope! Clean, simple and easy.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Quest can do

Thanks again
