"Use with" no longer works for inventory items
Hi - I was using the nine-verb interface and recently decided to cut it down to just four: Look, Pick Up, Talk and Use.
I managed to create the new menu and get the new verbs running, but now for some reason when I click "Use" and select an inventory item I've lost the "with" part - as in, if I click "Use" and then click the shovel in my inventory I get an unhandled response, instead of "Use shovel with" so that I can then select the hotspot or other inventory item.
I have my interaction method set to "Choose interaction then hotspot", so the first step is a click on the verb button.
I switched back to the nine-verb interface to see if it still worked, and that didn't work either, so I'm sure I've accidentally unchecked something along the way. But I can't work out what - can you help?
Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

The default syntax should be "on" rather than "with", but if it's not showing then it suggests the Item isn't entering "selection mode".
With the Nine Verbs template, this occurs when interacting with an Item with the "Use" interaction because of these two fields in the Settings Manager's Inventory panel:
That fixed it. Thanks - I knew it'd be something simple that I'd changed by mistake!
