Hey there!

When I first started playing around with quest, the first few projects I made had a nice little 'continue' button pop up whenever I used the 'wait for key press' script, which is something I use quite often. Unfortunately, it now appears to have disappeared, not only in every new game I make but all the previous projects too. Any idea why, and how to get it back? I can change the wording of it via a Request, but I can't get it to show up... I just want that friendly little button back!

Have you changed display colors, etc such that it's still output but you can't see it? That's the only thing I can think of, short of some kind of bug.

Nope, not messed around with that in the slightest.

I updated to the latest version thinking that might do the trick, but no luck. It happens on all new games I make, as well as old ones that I'm certain used to have it.

I made a very simple test. Just a "wait for key press" in the start script. The file is here:

<!--Saved by Quest 5.6.5783.24153-->
<asl version="550">
  <include ref="English.aslx" />
  <include ref="Core.aslx" />

    <start type="script">
      wait {
      }
    </start>
  </game>
  <object name="room">
    <inherit name="editor_room" />
    <object name="player">
      <inherit name="editor_object" />
      <inherit name="editor_player" />
    </object>
  </object>
</asl>

When I run it, I get this:



Do you get something different?

Ok, I did your test, and i've worked something out. Sure enough, it worked as intended. I looked into what's different on my end, and I realized I have the command bar disabled all the time. It seems that the Continue Label is directly linked to the command bar. If I turn it off from the beginning or hide it, goodbye Continue Label. If it's on, Continue Label appears as intended.

Now, I can work around that quite easily - chuck in a request to show the command bar before each wait, and hide it immediately afterwards. That's going to get pretty annoying pretty fast, though... so is there anything else I can do to separate these two features?
