Authoring Inform 7
1

I need to hold two specific items to complete an action but Inform isn’t accept my formula. Any suggestions?

Instead of crushing the large dried pepper when player is not holding the pestle and the wooden bowl:
    say "You can't do that with your bare hands."

Your syntax is slightly off, try this:

Instead of crushing the large dried pepper when player is not holding the pestle or the player is not holding the wooden bowl:
	say "You can't do that with your bare hands."

EDIT: oops, should be an “or”, not “and”, if you want the player to be holding both (I think I’ve been confusing mortars and pestles all this time!) Thanks to @StJohnLimbo for catching that and sending me a DM to avoid slinging egg in my face :slight_smile:
