In my game you need to do a certain event before 20 real-time minutes pass but I haven't figured out how to stop the timer when you accomplish this event. How would I get rid of the timer.

Can someone explain or direct me to guide on how to create a game based around a text parser?

Excuse me but I want to have points in my game and I would like to know if and how I can but a display for it in the the options box and bar at the top of the screen.
(Also what is the name of the script function for adding the score?)

For editing the Display messages where do I go in the program to change for example the color of the text background?

I am working on a 9-verb game where at the start you can pick 3 characthers and switch between them throughout the game similar to Maniac Mansion. I have a few questions about doing so.
1) How would I program selection to work?
2) What could I do for the in-game character switching?
3) How do I make it so certain characthers do certain actions?
4) What would be needed to kill off characthers?

I was working on a verb coin game when I noticed there seemed to be no save feature in-game. Do I need to create one or am I missing something?

I'm getting an error in a specific function as you can see above but I can't figure out the exact location it wants me to put the (. Can anyone solve this problem?

function oCdoor_Interact()
{
if (Game.DoOnceOnly(oCdoor_Interact))
{cEgo.Walk(192, 55, eBlock, eWalkableAreas);
Display("As you move to open the door it suddenly springs open!"
Display(" 'STAY BACK!' ");
Display(" 'George! Oh thank go!' ");
Display("It's your best friend Ken!");
Display(" 'When I heard the ship was being invaded I fled down the hall and hid in the closet. I was afraid to come out but I'm glad to see you. We got outta here!' ");
cEgo.AddInventory(iKen);
}
else
{Display("TEST");
}
}

I'm not sure why but the all the icons in my game have turned a dark blue and I am not sure what exactly caused this I didn't mess with them at all. Do you have any solutions?

// room script file

function hManor_Interact()
{
cEgo.Say("I can't do that!");
}

function hManor_Look()
{
cEgo.Say("It's the old Dia Manor!");
}

function hManor_PickUp()
{
cEgo.Say("I can't pick that up!";
}


I entered this for my room script and got an error saying unexpected eof. What does that mean and what did I script incorrectly?

I've got a music track I want to play but I can't seem to figure out how to play it without getting errors. How would I fix this?

How do I make it so an event happens only the first time you do it?

I didn't mess with anything. Nothing should have went wrong. Why does it keep saying the function is still open? I DIDN'T TOUCH ANYTHING WITH THESE FUNCTIONS. And now I can't run the game at all. What happened?

I have some basic questions here since this is my first time.
1) How do I make something occur the first time you perform said action like interacting with something.
2) I'm a bit confused on objects. I can create inventory items but I can't find a way to put the object in the room so you can take it.
3) The icon bar seems to be stuck in perpetual blue. How do I fix that?
4) Finally, I can't seem to give my character the ability to use his speech animation. How do fix that?
Thank you for hearing me out and I hope you can help me in the best way possible.

I was working on a another game when after programming the enter first time script I tried running the game and it said error room -1 does not exist when the room im in is 1. What's the problem?

I'm trying to start using the 9-verb type of game but the problem is that comes with a bunch scripts and an extra character programmed in. And I can't seem to earse the character or their scrpits without getting errors when I try to run the game as I'm getting errors about scripts I haven't found or have already deleted so I can't seem to test my game at all.
