Hello,

I don't see a problem with linger() or chance(n), testing on most recent version (27b).

I tested using this code:

start_at    = my_location
start_theme = two
locations {
   my_location   : location "Location One" ;
   my_location_2 : location "Location Two" ;
}
connections {
   from, direction, to = [
      my_location, east, my_location_2, 
   ]
}
on_command {
   : match "test _"  {
     : print {( "On command linger : " + linger() )}
     : print {( "On command chance : " + chance(50) )}
   }
}
on_tick {
   : print {( "On tick linger : " + linger() )}
   : print {( "On tick chance : " + chance(50) )}
}
on_describe {
   : print "Type TEST to test linger in the on_command{{}} block." ;
   : print {( "On describe linger : " + linger() )}
   : print {( "On describe chance : " + chance(50) )}
}

Linger() should reset to zero when you move to a new location and increment on each turn you are in the location. chance(n) should return true n percent of the time. Both functions appear to be working as designed.

If you have a scenario that is not working, please can you supply it, and I will test, and fix if necessary.

No problem. Glad you located the cause :-)

type *credits (in game)

Or in the editor, click the MENU button and the version is at the bottom of the pop up menu.

There is an inbuilt CREDITS command. I normally override this to give something a bit more user-friendly and to provide any extra credits needed. As, Adventuron said, you can still see the default sytem command using *CREDITS.

I don't think you can see it programmatically, but you don't really need to, as you know what version you're using during development and this is the version that's embedded with the game when it's compiled.
