So. let me put it this way; one exit goes to a room (NORTH), which has in that room a exit going back to the room (SOUTH). when I test the game, I say "go north", but it says this, ">go north". no description, objects list, or anything. Better yet, I can just keep typing those two words over and over with the same result. If I test if I'm in the separate room by typing, "take (object)" it says I took it. so, I need a solution FAST. thanks.

this may be the cause of your problem:

Upgrading from Quest 5.4 to Quest 5.4.1 If you have any exits that run scripts instead of automatically moving the player, you will need to tick a new checkbox on the exit editor "Run a script (instead of moving the player automatically)".
