Hi!
How do I get started with using and picking up objects. I am confused about the scripts and all.
Thanks,
Brian

In QDK, while making an abject, you should see a "take" tag, along with the other tag's "description" and "interactions".
In here there is a tickbox that says "takeable" - if you just tick this then the object is ready to be taken!
In the game, if you type "take abject" or select the object from the list on the right, and click the "take" button you should see that it works.

That could be my problem. Where do I go to creat the object?

I've posted a reply to this in rec.games.int-fiction, but as it seems you're having trouble creating an object in the first place: You have to create a room first for the object to go in. Once you've done this, select the room and the "Add" button underneath the Objects list should become enabled. Click this, and voila, create the object of your liking.
