Inconsistency in new Inform library (5/12)


26 Oct 1995 06:31:48 GMT

With the Inform library 5/12, the following can happen:

Bedroom (on bed)
This bedroom is nothing more than a large cupboard.

There is a hammer, a nail and a small ball here.

> get all
There are none at all available.

> get hammer, nail and ball
hammer: Taken.
nail: Taken.
ball: Taken.

> call Graham Nelson

That is, if the player is ON a supporter, 'get all' can't get any objects
from the room the supporter is in. But 'get' with individual items works
okay.

In the previous library release (5/11), 'get all' would pick up all items.
