Doors Using More Than One Way To Get To The Same Two Places

[Stew]

Here’s what I mean.

I used to code doors/stairs all the time that used more than one direction to get to the same two places. A stairway leading east and downwards, for example, should in theory be able to be traversed by both the “e” and “d” commands.

The bulletproof door is a door in the Bomb Shelter. The description of it is "It is designed to keep out attacks by the gremlins." It is up from the Bomb Shelter and down from the Lawn. It is east from the Bomb Shelter and west from the Lawn.

When I try to compile such code, I get this sort of error:

bulletproof door seems to be a door with three ways out (specified ‘It is east from the Bomb Shelter and west from the Lawn’ , ‘It is east from the Bomb Shelter and west from the Lawn’ and ‘It is up from the Bomb Shelter and down from the Lawn’ ), but you can only have one or two sides to a door in Inform: a one-sided door means a door which is only touchable and usable from one side, and an example might be a window through which one falls to the ground below. If you really need a three-sided cavity, best to make it a room in its own right.

Suggestions?

Instead of going down in the Lawn: try going west.

and so forth.

Of course. So easy, I missed it! D’oh! xD Thanks
