I have a lot of code in my game and since it has been such a LONG process in creating the game I'm running into weird problems to which I cannot find the solution.

As I move my player around to different rooms to carry out testing, I'm finding out the some places where I start my player there is no parser/input bar. I cannot see why or where this happens. Any guesses?

I do have the

HideCommandBar

script running in my title room screen, but I have the

ShowCommandBar

script running when my player gets chucked into the first room of the game. However, I'm not sure why that would affect rooms differently. Thanks in advance.

Are you saying that if you start your player in ANY room OTHER than your regular starting room, there is no command bar? Or do some rooms start with a command bar and others don't? The former situation could make sense; the latter doesn't make obvious sense.

Are you using therequest (Hide, "Command") and request (Show, "Command") scripts? 'Cuz HideCommandBar and ShowCommandBar just give errors.

Whether there is a command bar depends on which rooms I move my character to while testing.

Maybe you could provide additional info should it arise...

The following is in the game object attributes box:

<style type="text/css">div#txtCommandDiv {border:none; font-size:12pt; font-family:Georgia, serif; } input#txtCommand { outline:none; border:none; font-size:16px; margin:0; padding:0; }</style>
   
       <style type="text/css">
                 
        div#txtCommandDiv {
            border: none;
            background: no-repeat;
          }
          input#txtCommand {
            outline:none;
            border: none;
            margin:0;
            padding:0;
            max-width: 1000px;
          }
          #status { display: none !important; visibility: hidden !important; }       
          </style>
                                              

This is in the start script:

JS.eval ("getCSSRule('a.cmdlink').style.color='#000000'")
JS.setCommandBarStyle (GetCurrentTextFormat("") + ";border:" + game.defaultbackground)
// The next line was added to by KV
JS.eval ("$('#txtCommandDiv').css('color', 'DarkGreen');uiHide('#txtCommandDiv');uiHide('#gamePanes');$('body').css('background','black');")
// The next line was added by KV

This is in the first "real room" of my game:

ClearScreen
ShowCommandBar

And these are the command bar functions being called:

request (Show, "Command")

request (Hide, "Command")

So, long story short... yes, I am using the commands you mentioned.

Sorry, KV's code is a little over my head. Maybe mrangel could help you out...
