(DS Mac) Hand loses ability to speak.

In some of my Docking station worlds, my hand is unable to "talk". I can type into things like creature descriptions and in-game text boxes, but no speech bubbles appear above the hand when I type normally. The Eggernater seems to be causing the problem.

Is there any CAOS command trick I can use to un-mute the hand?

When you just lost your text focus on the speech bubble, this should restore it.
rtar 1 2 3 part 1 fcus part 0

When it gives you an "invalid targ" error, though, you got a more severe problem...

It didn't throw an error, but the hand is still muted.

How about this:
ject "DS speech bubble factory.cos" 7

Make sure you type the thing in the quotation marks EXACTLY RIGHT, also with capitalization. When you type it wrong, it'll just say "OK" anyways.

Already tried that one.

ETA: Retyped the command a few times to make certain there was not typo. Still no luck.

You aren't the only one. I pm'd her later (when my hand fell silent) to see if she had a solution - no good.

I'm running DS on Windows, though, not a Mac, if that matters.

I haven't kill hots'd anything. It's also not happening in every world I use the eggernator in, and it tends to happen early on.

I wasn't using the eggernator, but I was kill hots-ing (is that a 'thing' now?). It is still going on that particular DS world, though it happened after the world had been in-play for quite some time.

I was using "targ hots setv ov01 #" in all the worlds this has happened in.
