I am almost done a game I've been trying to design for my social studies class, but there is an object -- the "seal of Abduco" -- that will not move to the player's inventory. I've been over and over it and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. The order of events should go:

If the player is carrying object paper
Give paper to dwarf
Print message
Add item seal of Abduco to inventory

But, it doesn't, and the game can't be finished without that object. Any help would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you. (Game is attached with walkthrough up to point where item should transfer to inventory).

shouldn't it be:
if player is carrying object paper
then
move object paper to object dwarf
move object seal of Abducto to object player
print: you have the seal of Abducto (or whatever)

In a script.

You need to put that script in a command of some sort too. You need to highlight the ask/tell thing in an objects attributes iirc to set up give object to dwarf or set up a command doing the same then run the script suggestion.

Photo attached -- this is what I've done with all the other objects and they worked all right.

Like this.... (I think)

I'm not familiar with the 'add to inventory' rule, or even how it differs from 'move [object] to player'

If you 'move [object] to player' it should add it to the player's inventory anyway.

Worth a try.

Nope I ran it through, and it still doesn't move the seal to the inventory. I appreciate the effort, though.

OurJud, I tried that, too. I've tried it both ways.

The problem - I think - is that the seal of Abducto is situated in the walkthrough directory for some reason. You need to create it as an object in the game. You can even create a meaningless room to put it in until it's needed.

There is a walkthrough called that, but the seal of abduco is also an object in the "room of bylaws". When I put in "move object to inventory," it does come up as an option. Unless I'm misunderstanding you?

Oh ok, found it now. You haven't got it set as either visible or scenery in the object setup. I think one of those boxes needs to be ticked (scenery if you don't want the player to see it until it goes in their inventory).

The seal is set to be invisible, so when you get it, it does not appear in the inventory. Tick the Visible box on its Setup tab, and it should work fine.

Ah you beat me too. I thought it might be the walkthough too at first.

It's funny that I thought it was a coding problem rather than something simple lol.

Oh for... I have no idea how that even happened.

Thank you

Fixing a bug is a great feeling, innit?

I've had lots of them, and 99% of them were resolved by the folks here
