|
|
! VERSION 3 - Adding a door
|
|
!
|
|
! Inform allows you to create special objects that represent doors. Doors
|
|
! are simply objects with special "properties" and "attributes".
|
|
!
|
|
! A "property" is a function that can be listed in the "Object" statement.
|
|
! For instance, "e_to" and "w_to" are properties.
|
|
!
|
|
! Properties that are used for doors are:
|
|
!
|
|
! - door_to Tells Inform where the door leads if 'entered'.
|
|
!
|
|
! - door_dir Tells Inform which direction the door faces.
|
|
!
|
|
! - when_open The description of the door when open.
|
|
!
|
|
! - when_closed The description of the door when closed.
|
|
!
|
|
! - found_in A list of locations where the door resides.
|
|
!
|
|
! - with_key Specify which object is needed to lock and unlock door.
|
|
!
|
|
! Attributes that are used for doors:
|
|
!
|
|
! - static OR Tells Inform that the door cannot be carried.
|
|
! - scenery Tells Inform that the door cannot be carried
|
|
! and also is not mentioned in normal location
|
|
! descriptions.
|
|
!
|
|
! - door Mandatory...tells Inform this object is a door.
|
|
!
|
|
! - open Current state of door. To make the door start
|
|
! 'closed', then give the object the attribute
|
|
! ~open.
|
|
!
|
|
! - lockable Can be locked.
|
|
!
|
|
! - locked Starts out locked. Give it ~locked to start
|
|
! it as unlocked.
|
|
!
|
|
! NOTE: A few of the properties and attributes above can be used with other
|
|
! objects. The only ones specific to a door object are the 'door_to'
|
|
! and 'door_dir' properties and the 'door' attribute.
|
|
|
|
!
|
|
! NOTE ABOUT THE TILDE CHARACTER:
|
|
! In evaluations of variables, the tilde character, ~, signifies
|
|
! 'not' or 'false value of'.
|
|
! When you see ~=, this means "not equal to".
|
|
! When you see ~attribute, this means "the false value of attribute".
|
|
!
|
|
! The tilde character, ~, has another use. Inside a string, if you
|
|
! want to print a double-quote, you would use the tilde. For example:
|
|
!
|
|
! print "John said, ~Run spot run!~";
|
|
!
|
|
! ...would print...
|
|
!
|
|
! John said, "Run spot run!"
|
|
!
|
|
|
|
!
|
|
! We have two front doors built into our house, one leading to the
|
|
! foyer, and the other leading to the den.
|
|
!
|
|
! The left door is a one way door that has no lock. You can enter
|
|
! the door to the west.
|
|
!
|
|
! The right door is a two-way door that is lockable. The key is
|
|
! located in the north bedroom. You enter the door to the northwest.
|
|
!
|
|
! Q: What is the '->' used for?
|
|
!
|
|
! A: This symbol tells Inform that this object is located 'within' the most recent
|
|
! location definition.
|
|
!
|
|
! If two arrows are used, then the object is within the most recent -> object.
|
|
!
|
|
! The 'Left_Front_Door' is a 'child' of the 'Front_Porch' and the
|
|
! 'Front_Porch' is the 'parent' of 'Left_Front_Door'.
|
|

Object -> Left_Front_Door "left front door"

door_to Foyer,
|
|
door_dir w_to,

|
has static door openable;
|
|
|
|
!
|
|
! The two-way door has 'functions' for the door_to and door_dir properties
|
|
! because you can start on the front porch or the den. The same is true for
|
|
! the directions, you can either be going through the door northwest or
|
|
! southeast.
|
|
!
|
|
! These are 'embedded functions'. They don't need a name or arguments so
|
|
! you place a semi-colon immediately after the first bracket. The end of
|
|
! the function is signified by the closing bracket. You separate embedded
|
|
! functions the same way you separate other properties, with a comma.
|
|
!
|
|
! The 'if' statement within both of the embedded functions is used to
|
|
! determine which location you are starting in for the two-way door.
|
|
!
|
|
! The determination is calculated by comparing the 'location' variable
|
|
! (which Inform ALWAYS sets to the players current location) and the
|
|
! Front_Porch. If this is true, the first statement (until the semi-colon)
|
|
! is executed. If it's false (the player is NOT in the Front_Porch) then
|
|
! the second statement is executed.
|
|
!
|
|
! Notice the 'found_in' property lists both the Front_Porch and Den. This
|
|
! is so you can 'see' the doors in both of these locations.
