Using CommandLink() to run Display Verbs not working?

[WingsOfArcadia]

I'm trying to utilitze the CommandLink() function to activate an Object's display verb, in this case WaitObject's "Wait" display verb, but I think it gets overridden by the Quest default, is it a reserved verb?

So… if the player types "wait", it runs the default wait command which doesn't expect an object.

If the player types "wait WaitObject", it will run the WaitObject's wait verb. A verb on an object will only run if the object is specified.

If you want the link from CommandLink to call the verb, you need the command you pass into it to be "wait WaitObject".

I will also point out that if you have an Alias of "Wait" on the object then it will not work, as you will end up confusing the display verb with the aliased name, once I removed it I was able to get it to work.
