In my little example, I want the player to type any number from 1 to 20 by using the "Put what the player types next to ? string variable". The string variable is called #digit#. Now how can I check to see that the player only types a number from 1 to 20? I want to prevent the player from typing any letters or words, as well as any numbers less than 1 or greater than 20. Does Quest have a specific function for this?
Thanks

Anything that isn't a number should be evaluated as zero, so this should work:
enter <digit>
if (#digit# < 1) or (#digit# > 20) then msg <Foolish boy>
