Need help with stuff... again..

[464]

I'm having a bit of trouble and it's getting me POed. I'm trying to do some crap like this:

@uhhuh
#end
:touch
'having troubles here'
#take gems 5 poorass
'I wanted extra crap here but I didn't want it to activiate it you were a 'poorass'
#extracrap
!extracrap
#end


I want to be able to continue the program when you have enough gems and not continue when you don't. I thought the program would stop at 'poorass' if you were a 'poorass' and go to :poorass. BUT I WAS WRONG.

I'd love any help.

straight from THE MAN himself:

A troll blocks your way over the bridge.

     "Grrr...  Pay for passage or forget
about the castle!"

#end

:isin
#if scepter allow
$The troll blocks you:

     "Nobody leaves the castle without
      the Scepter of Lots 'n Lots of
      Power.  Return to your quest!"

kickass.. thanx..

Although I feel kind of stupid, I haven't even looked at the original zzt games since I first started using it in like 1999. When I left and came back I guess I felt too confident and thought I could remember everything....

another funny thing.. I have never used the "lock" and "unlock" commands.
