Maid Interrogation.

[Elijah of Worldbuilding]

i'm not doing the exploit, i just want my minion. how do i find out who is assign to interrogate her, cause she has died twice and i just released her to prevent a third death. AND i have like 20 odd minions sitting around.

this is my first day

[Elijah of Worldbuilding]

so of the 3 and only THREE none of them have the interrogate thing. do i need to destroy everything and replace the holding cell/chairs?

[Elijah of Worldbuilding]

Alexis is my Genius fyi and even with all FOURTY EIGHT of my minions at my island, no one is going to interrogate her, also tomorrow i'ma delete all the doors. that should help, perhaps? i mean if worst comes to worst i'll boot up one of the other geniuses.

It's best to make the minion who took her to cell interogate her. Right click her as soon as he closes the cell door and then right click him.

Are you actually ordering her to get interrogated? You need to right click on the holding cell with her in it>click the interrogate button>click on an interrogation device like the chair. An interrogation tag should appear above the maid and a random minion will be assigned to do it.

i've been clicking as soon as she enters, should i just make the door max level so he can't leave? and the maid still has the handcuff tags. i've been waiting for the announcer to stop saying her "select a device line" before left? clicking. should i try the other button. i'm gonna be pissed if i've been clicking the wrong button. either today or tomorrow i will lower my minion amount to one and excute them all. then i will see if the idiot interrogates her.

No, you don't need to trap your minion to get him to interrogate her. Also don't trap minions in rooms otherwise they'll freak out and run around.

and the maid still has the handcuff tags.

Then you're not ordering her to get interrogated. She needs to be in a holding cell, and then you right click on the holding cell>click the interrogate button>click on an interrogation device. The announcer will say "Interrogation device selected" once you do this, and the handcuff tag will change to an interrogation tag.

i've been waiting for the announcer to stop saying her "select a device line" before left clicking. should i try the other button. i'm gonna be pissed if i've been clicking the wrong button.

Oh... uh... Yeah, try right clicking on the interrogation device after you've clicked on the interrogation button.

First off, don't worry if the maid dies. The game will provide you with an endless supply of maids until you finally accomplish that mission. Indeed, some people use that time to keep minions out in the Wild World, stealing and plotting, until they accumulate massive amounts of gold. When they have enough, then they interrogate the maid.

I always find it confusing between LEFT click and RIGHT click, because different games do it differently. So anyhow, I just went into an old save game to make sure I get this right. The following is the correct sequence of events for the Capture Maid Mission, assuming you've already built at least one Holding Cell:

RIGHT click the MAID
LEFT click the "Handcuffs" button (capture tag)
In a minute or two, a minion will notice the tag, and capture her and lock her up.
Once the maid is locked up, if you haven't already, BUY the Interrogation Chair.
If you already have the Chair, WAIT until the prisoner stands up in the cell (always wait for the prisoner to stand up in the cell -- you can't do much of anything while they're passed out on the floor).
RIGHT click the CELL
LEFT click the "Interrogation" button (looks like one person holding a gun on a second person with his hands in the surrender position)
HOVER your mouse over the Interrogation Chair until the Interrogation Button is available.
RIGHT click that button on the Chair

If you did everything right, the tag over the maid should change to an Iterrogation Button. If it's still Handcuffs, you did something wrong, try again. It's OK to let her go and capture her again.

In a minute or two, a minion will come in and guide the maid to the Interrogation Chair, then commense interrogation.

ZOOM IN CLOSE, you have GOT to see this show!

Select the maid, click interrogate, click interrogation device (the chair).
I dont remember any bugs involving this.

Later on interrogations can be performed on different devices, with the defining factor being whether they are lethal or nonlethal. Never interrogate superagents on a lethal device. They will automatically escape.

i was misclicking. right to tag maid for capture, built everything why the ♥♥♥♥ are my minions whining? *pauses game* built the chair, right clicked and waited for the maid to stand up/enable the buttons and left clicking on the chair.

will now wait until i have like a million or two before actually begining the plot. Heat in Europe is max. sorry to waste time. i was slightly scared the first time she died bc i thought i soft locked, then i saw the other maid.

edit: Now Finally getting around to read All Star Superman while waiting for 2 or 3 million. I've just been sending Eli to One Punch her. edit 2:ah yes the James Bond Escape. i don't plan on having Lethal Interrogation devices in the first place so that won't be a problem.

Know your questions answered already, but just wanted to add that the control pattern for the entire game is like that. Left click always selects a unit or thing, and Right click issues orders regarding the selected thing, be it issuing or changing a tag on a unit, commanding your henchmen or genius around, or selecting objects to be moved or destroyed. It never changes for anything, even other menus or overlays, presumibly to help your ability to rapidly respond to emergency situations.
