Death And Resurrection.

Authoring TADS
1

You can tell by the number of topics I’ve posted that I have a long way to go with TADS3. In this one, I would like a person to die (from various means) and then be resurrected if he says yes to a question asking if he would like to be resurrected. The resurrection should put him in a special room and will also subtract points from his score.

Any ideas :question:

Here’s a way to use a FinishOption object for this.

#charset "us-ascii"
#include <adv3.h>
#include <en_us.h>


versionInfo: GameID
	name = 'The Deadly Dungeon'
	byline = 'by Anonymous Bard'
	version = '1'
;

gameMain: GameMainDef
	initialPlayerChar = me
;

me: Actor
	vocabWords = 'self'
	location = dungeon
;

dungeon: Room 'DUNGEON'
	"Monsters lurk in every shadow. You could DIE at any time. "
;

hospital: Room 'HOSPITAL'
	"Doctors lurk in every shadow. You could CHECK OUT at any time. "
;

DefineIAction(Die);
DefineIAction(CheckOut);

VerbRule(Die)
	'die'
	:  DieAction
	verbPhrase = 'die/dying'
;

VerbRule(CheckOut)
	'check' 'out'
	:  CheckOutAction
	verbPhrase = 'check/checking out'
;

modify DieAction
	execAction() {
		finishGameMsg(ftDeath, [finishOptionResurrect]);
	}
;

modify CheckOutAction
	execAction() {
		gPlayerChar.moveInto(dungeon);
		cls();
		gPlayerChar.lookAround(true);
	}
;

finishOptionResurrect: FinishOption
	desc = "PRAY for mercy"
	responseKeyword = 'pray'
	responseChar = 'p'
	doOption() {
		cls();
		gPlayerChar.moveInto(hospital);
		gPlayerChar.lookAround(true);
		addToScore(-2, 'dying');
	}
;
