Inherits

inherits is a convenient command for when you’d like one object to its properties from more than one object class.

<class1> <objectname> "name"
{
inherits <class2>[, <class3>,...]
...
}
! or even
object <objectname> "name"
{
inherits <class1>, <class2>[, <class3>,...]
...
}

More commonly, it is used as a convenient way to add properties quickly to objects not of a particular class. Timesasked.h uses it like so:

class topics
{
    timesasked #TOTALCHARACTERS
    timestold #TOTALCHARACTERS
}

player_character you "you"
{
    inherits topics ! we can ask about ourselves
}

room STARTLOCATION "Start Location"
{
    noun "room"
    inherits topics
}
