Hey for any one having issues, the game is cap sensitive. "take bobby pin" won't work but "Take bobby pin" will. Honestly a baffling decision on the devs part, in my honest opinion. If it's an attempt at proper grammar then why don't you need to put a period at the end?

Hi, umm, I know this is about a year old now, but I think Stencyl lets you turn text into all lowercase with [TEXT].toLowerCase(). So you can take player input and transform it to lowercase, and then check against all your commands also in lowercase.
