Checking the scope of IT

[KVonGit]

parser.findInScope = function(s, scopes, cmdParams) {
  parser.msg("Now matching: " + s)
  console.log("Now matching: " + s)
  // First handle IT etc.
  for (const key in lang.pronouns) {
    if (s === lang.pronouns[key].objective && parser.pronouns[lang.pronouns[key].objective]) {
      // Modified to check scope
      msg("(" + lang.getName(parser.pronouns[lang.pronouns[key].objective], {noLink:true, article:DEFINITE}) + ")", {}, 'parser')
      s = lang.getName(parser.pronouns[lang.pronouns[key].objective], {noLink:true}).toLowerCase()
      console.log("Now matching: " + s)
      // End of mod
    }
  }
      
  for (let i = 0; i < scopes.length; i++) {
    parser.msg("..Looking for a match for: " + s + " (scope " + (i + 1) + ")")
    const objList = this.findInList(s, scopes[i], cmdParams);
    if (objList.length > 0) {
      return [objList, scopes.length - i];
    }
  }
  return [[], 0];
}

I also changed the error message.

After fixing it to check the scope of the pronoun's target object, the default when the command was EXAMINE IT and IT was no longer in scope was "There doesn't seem to be anything you might call 'it' here."

I fixed that to print the name of the object, and quickly disapproved. By happenstance, I examined a sign in the first room, rendering that sign IT. Then, after changing rooms twice, I tried X IT. It said "There doesn't seem to be anything you might call 'it' here." Only problem was there was a different sign in the current location, so that made no sense. So, I changed it to Quest 5's default "You can't see that here."

lang.object_unknown_msg =function(name) {
  for (const key in lang.pronouns) {
    if (name === lang.pronouns[key].objective && parser.pronouns[lang.pronouns[key].objective]) {
      name = lang.getName(parser.pronouns[lang.pronouns[key].objective])
    }
  }
  //return "There doesn't seem to be anything you might call '" + name + "' here.";
  return "You can't see that here."
}

This probably still has issues, so don't put it in any games just yet. =)

Yep... 😇 This was slightly buggy. For some reason, ENTER IT calls parser.findInScope three times. So:

>x silo
It's the entrance to Zeke's silo.

>x it
(Zeke's silo)

It's the entrance to the silo.

>enter it
(Zeke's silo)
(Zeke's silo)
(Zeke's silo)

You are in Zeke's Silo.

Gee, this place smells just like rotting feed. Standing in the silo, grinning like the idiot that he is, is Farmer Zeke.

You can go out.

So, now I use this:

var usingPronoun = false

parser.findInScope = function(s, scopes, cmdParams) {
  parser.msg("Now matching: " + s)
  // First handle IT etc.
  for (const key in lang.pronouns) {
    if (s === lang.pronouns[key].objective && parser.pronouns[lang.pronouns[key].objective]) {
      // Modified to check scope
      if (!window.usingPronoun) msg("(" + lang.getName(parser.pronouns[lang.pronouns[key].objective], {noLink:true, article:DEFINITE}) + ")", {}, 'parser')
      window.usingPronoun = true
      s = lang.getName(parser.pronouns[lang.pronouns[key].objective], {noLink:true}).toLowerCase()
      // End of mod
    }
  }
      
  for (let i = 0; i < scopes.length; i++) {
    parser.msg("..Looking for a match for: " + s + " (scope " + (i + 1) + ")")
    const objList = this.findInList(s, scopes[i], cmdParams);
    if (objList.length > 0) {
      return [objList, scopes.length - i];
    }
  }
  return [[], 0];
}

createItem("resetUsingPronounTurnscript", 
  {
    eventPeriod:1,
    eventActive:true,
    eventScript:function() { 
      window.usingPronoun = false
     }
  }
)

This is probably also buggy. So continue to not try this at home just yet.
