Resolving ambiguity..


Sat, 7 Oct 1995 02:29:28 -0500

I remember a post awhile ago about choosing items over another ..but it
expired. *grrr* How does one do this? For example, let's say I have a
"left lever" and the direction 'left'. How can I make it so if they
say "examine left", it will not ask "Which do you mean, the left lever
or the left direction?" I just want it to pick the lever obj. instead.
Also, I suppose "push left lever left" would be a problem, too, because
the 'left' matches the lever.. so it matches only the lever and calls
Push instead of PushDir. Get it? It's like typing "get red shirt red
red". It doesn't matter the order or how many times, just as long as it
matches. So "push left lever left" will just do <<Push left_lever>>.
How can I fix this problem?
