I am a bit lost here. Can someone tell me why this works:
Instead of taking the chocolate bar:
say "You pause. Do you really want...[paragraph break]";
if glulx timekeeping is supported:
wait 2000 milliseconds before continuing;
say "...God! Of course you do! You devour it without removing the wrapper.";
remove the chocolate bar from play.
but this doesn’t:
Instead of touching the reiver blade:
if the player has the reiver blade:
now terminatingaction is on;
say "[line break]The box wood handle is polished and smooth from cycles of handling, the grip feels sure in your hand. Running a finger down the blade's cold steel you confirm that its twin edges are razor sharp.";
if glulx timekeeping is supported:
wait 1500 milliseconds before continuing;
say "You are in ";
now player is in location;
The second one produces this error msg:
Fatal Error: Printing text to a window that is waiting for line or character input is not allowed.There are no hyperlinks or any other secondary input associated with this bit of code. Confused?
