Another Inform Question


11 Jun 1995 22:42:12 -0700

All the replies to my previous question were very helpful, so now I've
got another one...

I've got a seatbelt in a seat. It's concealed, so a player can examine
it, but it doesn't appear in rooms descriptions or anything. I'd like
the player to be able to type 'wear seatbelt' and it will put on the
seatbelt. I've been able to do this using a before Take:, because the
parser tries to take the belt before issuing a wear action. Is there a
way to prevent it from saying (taking the safety belt first), such as a
flag? It's not that big a deal, but it would look nicer if it didn't say
it was taking the belt so players wouldn't check their inventories for it
or spend hours wondering where it went.

If that doesn't make sense, I can post a clarification (and a code
snippet, which I don't have at this point...I'm dreadfully unprepared, it
seems...)
