Authoring Inform 7

i have attack working but it attacks even if i am just carrying weapon. how can i make it stop action and say you are not holding weapon?

I would try:

A weapon is a kind of thing.  Sword, Axe, Gun are weapon.

check attacking:
     if player is not carrying weapon:
        say "You are not carrying a weapon to attack with.";
        stop the action;

I don’t have access to my laptop here so the exact wording may be a little different. Hopefully this helps?
