What I am trying to understand is a method for getting around the “can’t put something on something being carried rule” for at least a certain kind or kinds of thing. Here is an ‘oversimplified’ example of the problem I’d like to solve: [code]“experimenting with a carried supporter” by Jeff
section - set up
A table is a thing. A table is a supporter.
A cheque is a thing.
A platter is a thing. A platter is a portable supporter.
section - the world
Cafe is a room. In Cafe is a table. On table is a cheque and a platter.
On the platter are two mints.
A bow tie is worn by the player.
Test me with “get platter/put cheque on platter/l/i”;[/code]When this example is run, it throws the default ‘You lack the dexterity.’ message. If you can understand what I’m trying to accomplish, would you share your wisdom with this eager student on how to make a portable supporter work? Thanks in advance.
Incidentally, I have read this topic: “The can’t put onto something being carried rule”[url]https://intfiction.org/t/the-cant-put-onto-something-being-carried-rule/1854/1] and I would prefer, if possible, to avoid duplicating much of the discussion going on there. Thanks for cooperating with me on that.
