Alright, so just to start out this thread, I want you to know why I chose the Newbie message board. I thought I would get replies sooner. I really want to know now for future referance.

Anyway, I have a question about when your writing mysteries. I am trying a shot at writing a scripted mystery. It's called watch your step, and I am almost halfway through. I decided to test it out so far to see if I need to fix anything before I go on. I read the introduction, searched the crime scene, etc., until I started interviewing my suspects. The questions I made to ask them didn't show up. I looked again, and I saw that I had unlocked them all, and did all the effects, but it still won't show up. I would love to know how to get my questions up and asking. Again, I posted this on the newbie message board because I wanted this answered quicker. Good luck to all the mystery writers!

Just got a message cfm. She moved it. My bad. Ahhh, I need a nap or something. I need brain power.

When you go to each question, does it say the cause to unlock it as being the effect in another place?

What I mean is... say you go to one question, the cause would be the Crime Scene, when you go to the Crime Scene, the effects of that is unlocking a twist, suspect, and a question... that's the way I know of for sure to unlocking questions and having being able to play it. Other than that, I'm in the works of writing an SM myself.
