My game is gonna have a ton of objects but having them all displayed on the side is gonna be a nuisance, even with collapsed menus... is there a better method when dealing with a ton of objects?

- objects

you got only two methods I think:

.1. 'container object folder~directory~drilling heirarchy' :

(either do this in the 'player' object, or some other other: moving items from the 'player' Object over to it)

    'player' Object
    -> 'storage' Object
    ->-> 'equipment storage' Object
    ->->-> 'weapon storage' Object
    ->->->-> 'sword storage' Object
    ->->->->-> 'claymore' Object
    ->->->->-> 'katana' Object
    ->->->-> 'axe storage' Object
    ->->-> 'armor storage' Object
    ->->->-> 'helmet storage' Object
    ->->->-> 'gauntlet storage' Object
    ->-> 'item storage' Object
    ->->-> 'potion storage' Object
    ->->-> 'elixir storage' Object
    ->-> 'spell storage' Object
    ->->-> 'fire storage' Object
    ->->->-> 'fireball spell' Object
    ->->-> 'water storage' Object
    ->->->-> 'tsunami spell' Object

    ~OR~

    'global_data_object' Object
    -> 'storage' Object
    ->-> 'equipment storage' Object
    ->->-> 'weapon storage' Object
    ->->->-> 'sword storage' Object
    ->->->->-> 'claymore' Object
    ->->->->-> 'katana' Object
    ->->->-> 'axe storage' Object
    ->->-> 'armor storage' Object
    ->->->-> 'helmet storage' Object
    ->->->-> 'gauntlet storage' Object
    ->-> 'item storage' Object
    ->->-> 'potion storage' Object
    ->->-> 'elixir storage' Object
    ->-> 'spell storage' Object
    ->->-> 'fire storage' Object
    ->->->-> 'fireball spell' Object
    ->->-> 'water storage' Object
    ->->->-> 'tsunami spell' Object

.2. and~or see Sora's Stackable Library (it hasn't been updated for current quest version yet):

http://forum.textadventures.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3515

but if you're a good programmer, you can probably understand this, writing your own code, and~or if you know quest code+good programmer, then you can update it for everyone :D

I'm talking about authoring many objects not playing.
