If I use something like

Place <out small door> goto <back room>

Where back room is an actual room in the game, I get a message in my asl log

no such room "out back door "

(and it does'nt work obviously)


The only way I have been able to get this command to work is by using this

Place <back room>

I just pasted that into an ASL file and it works perfectly for me, so I don't know why it's not working for you. If you send me your whole ASL file (either email it to me at [email protected] or just paste it here) then I can take a look into this for you.

Gamer1962 sent me the ASL file, and here's my reply in case anybody else should find it useful:

The problem is occurring because you have over-ridden the "go to" command using:

command <go to #roomname#> goto <#roomname#>

This means when the player types "go to out small door", the "place" tag has no effect - your command overrides Quest's default behaviour and runs the command "goto <out small door>", which is what is causing the error.

I can't see any reason why you should need to override the "go to" command, so my suggested solution is to remove that line.
