* Supplying a missing noun/second noun
|
|
(Missing nouns supplied in commands to characters--Issuing vague commands to characters; Latin Lessons)
|
|
Supplying missing nouns and second nouns for other characters besides the player.
|
|
|
|
If we're defining actions for other characters to follow, we may want to include them in our "rule for supplying a missing noun". We can do this if we write our "while..." clause to apply to any actor, as follows:
|
|
|
|
{*}"Latin Lessons"
|
|
|
|
The Latin Studio is a room. Rick is a man in the Studio.
|
|
|
|
A dance-name is a kind of thing. Argentine tango, samba, merengue, cha-cha, street salsa are dance-names.
|
|
|
|
Dancing is an action applying to one visible thing. Understand "dance [any dance-name]" as dancing. Understand "dance" as dancing.
|
|
|
|
Rule for supplying a missing noun while an actor dancing:
|
|
now the noun is street salsa.
|
|
|
|
Report someone dancing:
|
|
say "[The actor] dances a few steps of [the noun] for you."
|
|
|
|
Report dancing:
|
|
say "You dance a few steps of [the noun]."
|
|
|
|
Persuasion rule for asking someone to try dancing: persuasion succeeds.
|
|
|
|
Test me with "dance / dance samba / rick, dance / rick, dance merengue". |
