Hey All-
I’ve got a situation in which I’d like the player to be able to SAY ?. As in, SAY QUESTION MARK.
Saytext is a text that varies.
Instead of saying:
now saytext is the player's command;
if the player's command matches "say ?":
say "CORRECT.";
otherwise if the player's command matches "say question mark":
say "CORRECT";
otherwise:
say "WRONG".
Obviously the “SAY QUESTION MARK” works fine, but me being me and always inadvertently picking things that present coding problems, the “SAY ?” part yields this error:
Problem. You wrote ‘if the player’s command matches “say ?”’ : but ‘understand’ text cannot contain literal punctuation, or more specifically cannot contain any of these: . , ! ? : ; since they are already used in various ways by the parser, and would not correctly match here.
Is there a way to get around this, or do I need to rethink it?
