ExcludeFromAll

calling form	description
`ExcludeFromAll(object)`	Returns true if, based on the current circumstances (verbroutine, etc.), the supplied object should be excluded from actions using “all”—such as `multi`, `multiheld`, and `multinotheld` grammar tokens.

The Code

!----------------------------------------------------------------------------
! ExcludeFromAll(obj)
! If global decision rules are desired for "all" actions, replace
! ExcludeFromAll, returning true if <obj> is to be excluded.  Return 2 to
! force the INCLUSION of <obj>.

routine ExcludeFromAll(obj)
{
    if obj is hidden
        return true
    return false
}

Replacement Example

Future Boy! replaces ExcludeFromAll with some added code to handle objects carried by NPCs:

replace ExcludeFromAll(obj)
{
    if obj is hidden
        return true

! Exclude things NPCs are carrying unless the NPC is explicitly
! given as the parent
if parent(obj) is living
{
    if IsPossibleXobject(parent(obj)) or parent(obj) = player
        return false
    return true
}

    return false
}
