player_person

The value of the player_person global variable determines whether the game is told in a first, second, or third person.

player_person value	behavior	example
1	Game is first-person	“I can’t see that anywhere.”
2	Game is second-person	“You are likely to be eaten by a stereotype!”
3	Game is third-person	“Pinochio throws the hammer at the cricket!”

Additional changes

Any game that changes the default value (2) of player_person also has to make changes to the player_character object so error messages work correctly:

first person player

Set the global variable player_person to 1:

player_character you "I"
{
 ! nouns "you", "yourself" ! possibly (depending on whether you want the player typing >EXAMINE YOURSELF)
 pronouns "I", "me", "my", "myself"
}

second person player

Set the global variable player_person to 2 (this is the default value):

player_character you "you"
{
 ! default values work (nouns "me" "myself" / pronouns "you" "you" "your" "yourself")
}

third person

Set the global variable player_person to 3:

player_character jack "Jack"
{
 nouns "jack" "himself"
 pronouns "he","him", "his", "himself"
 is not plural
}
