readable
The readable
attribute signifies that an
object can be used with the verbs “read” and “peruse.” Even still, the
Standard Library will just direct the
action to DoLook, so without replacing
verb grammar or creating a DoRead
routine, to
offer a different response, one could do something like this:
object chainsaw "chainsaw"
{
article "a"
noun "chainsaw"
is readable
long_desc
{
if (word[1] = "read", "peruse")
{
"\"Black & Decker.\""
}
else
"Scary looking thing."
}
in bill
}
