So, I know this should be realativly easy, but I can't find the function for defining what the default message displayed when you perform an action on something that doesn't have any text specified is.  I would like to do this on a per-room basis, as well, though I imagine I could just have each room's code change the default, if I can figure out how to set the default.

In case I'm being unclear by perform an action, I mean if you look at something, or use it or whatever.

So, I have a cutscene that plays when I use an item on another character.  However,  I want it to work such that I can make that happen from any room, and then make the characters talk in the current room.  Currently, I just have it hardcoded to only work in one room.  I would guess I need to do something like check my global "returning from cutscene" variable, possibly in the repeatedly execute part, but I can't find an "Onroomload" function in the scripting interface.

I currently want my game to run a cutscene when you click a certain cursor, which I'll call "Poke" on this particular character. 
So, I've made it such that if you poke them it starts running a script.  Then I found out that it doesn't like you doing a changeroom in the middle of a script, before you move a character. 

So I tried putting the changeroom in a function call, and that didn't work.  So then, I changed my on poke to be running three scripts from  the graphical menu. 
The first one sends my invisible main charater(in that room) and the character who I want in the cutscene to the new room, storing the old room# and their positions to global variables, declared at the top of the global script.
This part appears to work.

Then second script part should have character 2 doing stuff, and talking.  She instead just stands there.  If I poke her again, the screen goes black.  However, if I hardcode the room values, it seems to teleport me to the room I hardcode, after a length of time that could be accounted for by the script invisibly running.

And Script3 never seems to activate ever.
Here's my code, in case you have any pointers.

Additionally, there is a character1_a section with nothing in it, that I don't believe is referenced by the program.
