TADS - modifying a verb


7 Dec 1995 01:55:11 -0500

Does anyone know a good way of modifying a verb (in TADS 2.2) for use with
a particular direct object?

I want "show" to work as normal with every object in the game, that is
"show <direct object> to <indirect object>." But for one direct object, in
one room, I want "show <direct object>" to work, without the parser
requiring an indirect object. Or is there a way to make the parser assume
a particular indirect object for that direct object, only in that room,
without assuming it at any other point in the game?
