Hello,

I would like to create a password-protected room. But how do I do that?

Thanks,
William

If you haven't already, you may want to work through the tutorial to get an idea of some of the features of Quest. While they may not be exactly what you're looking to do, a lot of the concepts are applicable to many situations.

http://quest5.net/wiki/Tutorial

Also in the wiki is a "How To" page containing instructions for some common things you may want to do:

http://quest5.net/wiki/How_to

In this case, it contains a guide for creating a security locked door.

http://quest5.net/wiki/Unlockdoor


Hope this helps.

I would advise not using the wiki for tutorials -- it's horribly out-of-date right now.
The page for the locked door is only for pre-5.4 versions. Trying to use

code = GetInput()

won't work anymore. Instead, replace the 'use' code for the keypad with

msg ("Please enter security code.")
get input {
  if (result = "your_code_here") {
    UnlockExit (room_to_room_2)
    msg ("The exit to the second room is unlocked now.")
  }
  else {
    msg ("Nothing happens. This code seems to be wrong.")
  }
}

The tutorial is horrible out of date? Or do you mean the Howto section?

Err... The how to section. I haven't actually looked at the tutorials, but I read somewhere that they got an update?

The howtos are created by users so it's rather clear that there are no version updates, but the tutorial is updated by Alex regularly

Oh, that explains it then. Thanks, I didn't know that
