Any help is appreciated.

Well, scrolls are not great for ZZT-opp, as some codes cause a run time error, but you can make Scrolls tell objects to respond.
Example
(hidden object)
@bomber
#cycle 1
#end

:boom
Shit, a booby trapped Scroll!
#take health 11 nope (note, i allways take odd amounts when it comes to health, as it can make the object describe a death, not just end the game)
#end

:nope
The scroll was booby trapped with explosives, and as you unfolded it, it blew up in your face, killing you. Your adventure ends here
:loop
/i
#endgame
/i
YOUR ADVENTURE IS OVER!
/i
#endgame
/i
#loop
#end

and have the scroll contain this code
#send bomber:boom


Simple as Simon Says.

I still remember when Moose was a wee nipper, eleven years old and ceaselessly quoting Nine Inch Nails songs. Terrifying.

I'm 21 dude.

SCORCH'S TRUE AGE IS UNKNOWN EVEN TO HIMSELF

21, my age is 21, twenty and a one! Jesus, how many times do i have to tell you all? I'll be 22, on the 02/22/04 right?

AND THEN 23 ON 3/23/04

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

yeah, he's 21, here's your proof.

if player has 10 health and you did something like:

#take health10
#give health10

would it kill the whole game? Cause I need a way to take all health and give so much back.

No it wood not. But if you put sumthing in between then it wood.

here's a working example of that.

#cycle 1
#end
:touch
#lock
#ds
#end
:ds
#take health 1 toopoor
/i
#ds
#end
:toopoor
#give health 100
#unlock
#end

Or you could just go

#endgame
#give health 100

to reset someone's health. The endgame takes all the player's health, but doesn't end the game if more health is given instantly afterwards.

I think I'll go with Zenith Nadir's Idea

Zenith Nadir can't lose.
