Do you know how to go directly to a room, I'm trying to make it so that when you open a chest it takes you directly to a room called "The Nondescript Room" I've tried "Instead of opening the chest: go to the nondescript room" but it doesn't work

Sorry but it's been so long since I used this and it's not even mine! All your answers should be on the authors site at: inform7.com

He is the one who wrote the program and made this vid (I say so in the description). Keep looking as your end game can be published on sites like: The Interactive Fiction Archive...

Wow you explained thing very nicely and quickly. The chapters in the manual explained what to do once you get started but didn't really say how one start an IF and i was lost among all the chapters.

It was also nice to be able to see what you were typing. This is possible in some of the other tutorials.

Thanks you for this!

I’d love to see more tutorials too.

But I believe this is the author himself.

So, sorry, I can't help you with that.

I stole this from the informs website,

I thought it was that kool.

There’s a link to their site in the description above.

There’s a few others on here who have made tut’s.

Instead of opening the chest: say "Lots of glowy stuff blinds you!"; move the player to the nondescript room.

Instead of biting the bullet: say "CRUNCH!"; move the player to a random room in wonderland.

(wonderland is a region with some rooms in it.)

This is the video on the inform7 website! It's a great tutorial; fast but detailed enough. Focus on the right things.

Thanks for this, I feel I got a good overview on how to make my first steps with Inform.

@phatdriver Thanks! I'll sure to look into it. Oh! currently i'm having trouble with creating a scene. The program doesns't recongize the ... constrictions i guess... that is put on it. Like when i want the scene to start for example.

You know where i can find help?
