Hello again. I was hoping that I could figure this out on my own, but this makes no sense to me. I searched around for different possibilities, but yeah… I’m stumped. This should be working (I think), but it’s not. I want the player to loot a dead enemy, but the code isn’t working. Here’s my ENTIRE test game so you have the full code and can know what’s going on:
[code]“Test4” by Strange Impressions
Book - Fighting
The Arena is a room. An Orc is in the Arena.
A monster is a kind of person.
An Orc is a monster.
The East Hallway is a room. It is east of the Arena.
Chapter - Armor
A brooch is a thing. A brooch is wearable. A brooch is in the Arena.
A brooch has a number called armor. The armor of a brooch is usually 5.
Instead of examining brooch:
say “You see a brooch. If you wear this brooch, it will increase your health by five points.”
After wearing the brooch:
increase the maximum hit points of the player by the armor of the brooch;
increase the current hit points of the player by the armor of the brooch.
After dropping the brooch:
decrease the maximum hit points of the player by the armor of the brooch;
decrease the current hit points of the player by the armor of the brooch.
After taking off the brooch:
decrease the maximum hit points of the player by the armor of the brooch;
decrease the current hit points of the player by the armor of the brooch.

Instead of attacking someone:
let the damage be a random number between 1 and 5 plus the maximum attack of the player;
say “You attack [the noun], causing [damage] points of damage!”;
decrease the current hit points of the noun by the damage;
if the current hit points of the noun is less than 0:
say “[line break][The noun] has been defeated!”;
stop the action;
let the enemy damage be a random number between 1 and 5 plus the maximum attack;
say “[line break][The noun] attacks you, causing [enemy damage] points of damage!”;
decrease the current hit points of the player by the enemy damage;
if the current hit points of the player is less than 0:
say “[line break]You’re dead!”;
end the story.
When play begins:
now the left hand status line is “Health: [current hit points of player] / [maximum hit points of player]”
Chapter - Looting and Potions
The can’t take people’s possessions rule is not listed in the check taking rulebook.
Check an actor taking (this is the can’t take living people’s possessions rule):
let the local ceiling be the common ancestor of the actor with the noun;
let H be the not-counting-parts holder of the noun;
while H is not nothing and H is not the local ceiling:
if H is an alive person:
if the actor is the player:
say “[regarding the noun][Those] [seem] to belong to [the H].” (A);
if H is a dead person:
continue the action;
let H be the not-counting-parts holder of H;
After examining a dead person (this is the give list of possession on dead person rule):
if the number of things carried by the noun is at least one:
say “On the [if the noun is plural-named]bodies[otherwise]body[end if] of [the noun] you also see [list of things carried by the noun with indefinite articles].”
A thing is either drinkable or undrinkable.
The block drinking rule is not listed in the check drinking rules.
A potion is drinkable. The player carries a potion.

now the current hit points of the player is the maximum hit points of the player.

stop the action.
After taking the sword:
increase the maximum attack of the player by 5.
After taking the mace:
increase the maximum attack of the player by 5.[/code]
I do like my armor code, though. Took me a bit to figure out the potions and the armor, but I like it.
