Note: That’s the least vague title I can think of.
I’m trying to get the player to give the fifty-dollar bill to Sam, and go south, but as the transcript shows, the program seems to be skipping around on me. For instance, when I7 finally acknowledges that Sam holds the fifty-dollar bill, instead of issuing the response “Sam eagerly accepts the money.[line break]
[‘]Great![’] he says. [‘]Now we can pay the rent and get this thing on wax![’]”; … it holds fire until I issued the command “s” and then flips me back out on the street.
Here’s the transcript:
[b]Union Street, Far West.
You’re on the far west end of the 700 block of Union Street. It would be uncool to go farther west. To the north is the MPD precinct house. To the south is a building with a door labeled ‘Moon Studios’. You can also go east.
You can see a studio door here.
Make like a cow and moooooove!

Here’s the code:
[code]Check giving fifty-dollar bill to Sam:
now Sam carries fifty-dollar bill.
Instead of going south when player is in Hallway:
if Sam Phil carries fifty-dollar bill:
say “Sam eagerly accepts the money.[line break]
[‘]Great![’] he says. [‘]Now we can pay the rent and get this thing on wax![’]”;
now Sam Phil carries fifty-dollar bill;
continue the action;
otherwise:
say “[‘]You here again?[’] Sam says. [‘]You got the money?[’]”.[/code]
