I am working on a game where you can crawl around in some pipes. There are pipe locations that allow you to see what’s going on in rooms without entering them. I looked up the documentation for some basic scope-deciding to make this work. I got it working with this script:
After deciding the scope of the player when the location is Ballroom pipes:
place the Hotel ballroom in scope.
So my story is coming along just fine, but what’s bugging me is that this script did not work:
After deciding the scope of the player while in the Ballroom pipes:
place the Hotel ballroom in scope.
According to the documentation, this should’ve worked, but it didn’t. What’s up?
You can file a bug report on Mantis. Choose “Documentation, Web Site, and Examples” from the dropdown Projects menu, and say where in the documentation it says that this should work, with a little code example showing the thing that doesn’t work.
The bug reports tend to go unresponded to for a long time but then when a new version of Inform comes out they get all swooped up at once.
I tried signing up for an account with Mantis and still haven’t gotten an email, nor can I seem to log in. Is there a way to submit a bug with a guest account? Should I just wait until Inform finishes migrating to the new bug report system?
