Fixing "wear" and "remove" to Update (or Edit) Games Made In Quest Versions Earlier Than 5.7.1

Richard Headkid

This is only necessary if you wish to EDIT your game.

Adding one function to be called from the start script should be all that is required if you want to keep your existing "wear" and "remove" scripts, otherwise follow Pixie's suggestion to modify things to work with the newer Wearable features.

Original game created using Quest 5.6.3:

Step 1:

Create a function named FixWearables.

(It doesn't have any parameters, nor does it have any return type.)

Put this for the script in code view:

wear.script => {
  if (multiple and ListCount(object) = 0) {
    msg ("You've nothing to wear.")
  }
  else {
    foreach (o, object) {
      if (ListCount(object) > 1) {
        s = CapFirst(GetDisplayName(o)) + ": "
        OutputTextNoBr (s)
      }
      if (HasAttribute(o, "wear")) {
        if (HasScript(o, "wear")) {
          do (o, "wear")
        }
        if (HasString(o, "wear")) {
          msg (o.wear)
        }
      }
      else {
        msg (s"You can't wear "+o.article+".")
      }
    }
  }
}
remove.script => {
  if (multiple and ListCount(object) = 0) {
    msg ("You've nothing to remove.")
  }
  else if (TypeOf(object) = "objectlist") {
    foreach (o, object) {
      if (ListCount(object) > 1) {
        s = CapFirst(GetDisplayName(o)) + ": "
        OutputTextNoBr (s)
      }
      if (HasAttribute(o, "remove")) {
        if (HasScript(o, "remove")) {
          do (o, "remove")
        }
        if (HasString(o, "remove")) {
          msg (o.remove)
        }
      }
      else {
        msg ("You can't remove "+o.article+".")
      }
    }
  }
  else {
    if (HasAttribute(object, "remove")) {
      if (HasScript(object, "remove")) {
        do (object, "remove")
      }
      if (HasString(object, "remove")) {
        msg (object.remove)
      }
    }
    else {
      msg ("You can't remove "+o.article+".")
    }
  }
}
foreach (o, AllObjects()) {
  if (HasAttribute(o, "wear")) {
    o.displayverbs = ListExclude(o.displayverbs, "")
    if (not ListContains(o.displayverbs, "Wear")) {
      list add (o.displayverbs, "Wear")
    }
    o.inventoryverbs = ListExclude(o.inventoryverbs, "")
    if (not ListContains(o.inventoryverbs, "Wear")) {
      list add (o.inventoryverbs, "Wear")
    }
  }
}

Step 2

Add this line to your start script:

FixWearables

TIP

To edit the wear attribute on objects in the GUI, use the 'Attributes' tab. (wear will not show up under the verbs tab!)
