Inform: NPC interaction


Sat, 26 Aug 1995 21:01:32 GMT

(Perhaps I should set "Organization:" to "Citizens for Excessive NPC
Reactions". :/)

'ask <npc> for/about <whatever>' works fine.. but I can't figure out what kind
of magic I'd have to work to have the following work:

alison, tell me about the druidic rites
holmes, who are you?
joel, what is the experiment?
paul, where are the replacements?

(I'm not certain if a 'where' is typical of the Infocom/Inform game..)

How would I arrange these things to be accepted? Is this an 'order'? (I've
read the manual through twice now and understand what I've read, yet I still
feel rather dense compared to those who are happily coding away and answering
my silly questions. :) )

Again, thank you all in advance for taking your time to answer and point me
in the right direction. Someday, all this learning will pay off in
(hopefully) quite a good game! :)
