I'm coding a text based game using batch script, and I coded it so specific inputs lead to specific things, but when I'm testing and I input one of the commands that I know is supposed to work, the entire thing just crashes and I have no idea why. Am i missing parentheses somewhere? Did I misspell a command?
My code:
@echo offtitle [test]color 0Aif "%1" neq "" (goto %1)goto Menuset circuton=falseset hatchopen=falseset keyhave=falseset wirefixed=falseset pliershave=falseset boxmoved=falseset boxhave=falseset circutpuzzle=falseset dooropen=false:HelpCommandsecho The following are the commands able to be used. None are case sensitive.echo TurnL - Turns leftecho TurnR - Turns rightecho Take_[item]- Takes an item if it is available.echo Use_[item]- Prompts the question of how you want to use an item if you have itecho Look_[thing]- Focuses in on one thing in the current environment.
