Okay so I'm slaving away her, on the whole fairly successfully. BUT is there any way of checking that the player actually has tokens? I've done the scenes for one quest and it doesn't act the way it should. I've rewritten several times and am so stoopid I just can't find the glitch. My other scenes all work fine and the quests are ticking along nicely, but surely there must be a way of testing it as I go along that doesn't involve playing the game. PLZ help me. Seawitch

Solved it! But would still like to know if there is any way (other than play/testing) to check that character actually HAS tokens. seawitch

As far as I know there isn't a way to just tell if a character has a token without sending them through a script that tests for it. However there are two ways of doing scene testing.
You can simply enter actor comments whenever you give or take a token. (ie 1: Now I give you token 46.) Then once you finish testing take that dialog out.
Or you can use the new /stepper command. It lets you step through the code of the scene step by step. It only works when you actually play your world though, not in the development mode.

Also, as a world developer, you will find it convenient to get used to doing this:
/take T15 <-- remove token 15 /give T22 <-- give token 22 /scene 47 <-- start scene 47
[evaluate if tokens work properly in scene] [edit scene] [save scene to disk]
/reload <-- read and compile world from disk /take T15 /give T22 /scene 47
What I am trying to say is that this way you don't have to start a new character to play a scene "from the beginning" (assuming it changes based on the tokens people have)

Thanks all, I did use the get/take token option, but it would have been easier if there was a display tokens options. And giving and taking it doesn't actually confirm that the character gets it in normal play. Grouse over )
