A "Text" property type has a text box in which you can enter multiple lines of text when the property is selected.

When you select the "Show character entering/exiting the location" property of a character, two text properties become visible.

Initially these text boxes are disabled and greyed-out, but once you click on the tick-box to enable each one, you can type whatever text you want into them.

In the above examples, these properties contain the text that will be displayed if the character is moved into or out of the location containing the player.

All Text Boxes can have Alternate Descriptions, so you can use Restrictions to change the text that is displayed.

Each text property also has graphics and Audio tabs on the right-hand side which allow you to specify an image to display or a sound to play whenever this property is displayed.


A "State List" property type has two or more options that you can choose from, each of which is a single word.

If the state list only has two options, then it is displayed as two side-by-side radio buttons and you simply select the one you want. If you select the "Object can be opened and closed" property on the properties page of an object, then you will see the mandatory "Open status" property which has two radio buttons marked "Open" and "Closed".

The "Gender" property of characters is an example of a state-list with more than two options, in this case a drop-down list is displayed from which you can select the wanted option.
