Methods  

allNotAllowed (actor)msg_neu.t[1793]

'all' is not allowed with the attempted action

ambiguousNounPhrase (actor, originalText, matchList, fullMatchList)msg_neu.t[2057]
we found an ambiguous noun phrase, but we were unable to perform interactive disambiguation

askDisambig (actor, originalText, matchList, fullMatchList, requiredNum, askingAgain, dist)msg_neu.t[1990]
Ask the canonical disambiguation question: "Which x do you mean...?". 'matchList' is the list of ambiguous objects with any redundant equivalents removed; and 'fullMatchList' is the full list, including redundant equivalents that were removed from 'matchList'.

If askingAgain is true, it means that we're asking the question again because we got an invalid response to the previous attempt at the same prompt. We will have explained the problem, and now we're going to give the user another crack at the same response.

To prevent interactive disambiguation, do this:

throw new ParseFailureException(&ambiguousNounPhrase,
originalText, matchList, fullMatchList);

askMissingLiteral (actor, action, which)msg_neu.t[1853]
Ask for a missing literal phrase.

askMissingObject (actor, action, which)msg_neu.t[1826]
Ask for a missing object - this is called when a command is completely missing a noun phrase for one of its objects.

askUnknownWord (actor, txt)msg_neu.t[2087]
tell the user they entered a word we don't know, offering the chance to correct it with "oops"

cannotAddressMultiple (actor)msg_neu.t[2115]
cannot speak to multiple actors

cannotChangeActor ( )msg_neu.t[2077]
cannot change actor mid-command

commandNotUnderstood (actor)msg_neu.t[1760]
invalid command syntax

disambigOrdinalOutOfRange (actor, ordinalWord, originalText)msg_neu.t[1967]
The answer to a disambiguation question specifies an invalid ordinal ("the fourth one" when only three choices were offered).

'ordinalWord' is the ordinal word entered ('fourth' or the like). 'originalText' is the text of the noun phrase that caused the disambiguation question to be asked in the first place.

emptyNounPhrase (actor)msg_neu.t[1927]
empty noun phrase ('take the')

explainCancelCommandLine ( )msg_neu.t[2130]
Remaining actions on the command line were aborted due to the failure of the current action. This is just a hook for the game's use, if it wants to provide an explanation; by default, we do nothing. Note that games that override this will probably want to use a flag property so that they only show this message once - it's really only desirable to explain the the mechanism, not to flag it every time it's used.

insufficientQuantity (actor, txt, matchList, requiredNum)msg_neu.t[1940]
insufficient quantity to meet a command request ('take five books')

missingActor (actor)msg_neu.t[2064]
the actor is missing in a command

missingLiteral (actor, action, which)msg_neu.t[1862]
Show the message for a missing literal phrase.

missingObject (actor, action, which)msg_neu.t[1842]
An object was missing - this is called under essentially the same circumstances as askMissingObject, but in cases where interactive resolution is impossible and we simply wish to report the problem and do not wish to ask for help.

noMatch (actor, action, txt)msg_neu.t[1773]
no match for a noun phrase

noMatchCannotSee (actor, txt)msg_neu.t[1779]
No match message - we can't see a match for the noun phrase. This is the default for most verbs.

noMatchDisambig (actor, origPhrase, disambigResponse)msg_neu.t[1916]
no match for the response to a disambiguation question

noMatchForAll (actor)msg_neu.t[1799]
no match for 'all'

noMatchForAllBut (actor)msg_neu.t[1805]
nothing left for 'all' after removing 'except' items

noMatchForListBut (actor)msg_neu.t[1812]
nothing left in a plural phrase after removing 'except' items

noMatchForLocation (actor, loc, txt)msg_neu.t[1902]
no match for a containment phrase

noMatchForPluralPossessive (actor, txt)msg_neu.t[1895]
no match for a plural possessive phrase

noMatchForPossessive (actor, owner, txt)msg_neu.t[1888]
no match for a possessive phrase

noMatchForPronoun (actor, typ, pronounWord)msg_neu.t[1815]
no match for a pronoun

noMatchNotAware (actor, txt)msg_neu.t[1789]
No match message - we're not aware of a match for the noun phrase. Some sensory actions, such as LISTEN TO and SMELL, use this variation instead of the normal version; the things these commands refer to tend to be intangible, so "you can't see that" tends to be nonsensical.

nothingInLocation (actor, loc)msg_neu.t[1909]
nothing in a container whose contents are specifically requested

reflexiveNotAllowed (actor, typ, pronounWord)msg_neu.t[1871]
reflexive pronoun not allowed

refuseCommandBusy (targetActor, issuingActor)msg_neu.t[2109]
the actor refuses the command because it's busy with something else

singleActorRequired (actor)msg_neu.t[2071]
only a single actor can be addressed at a time

singleObjectRequired (actor, txt)msg_neu.t[1953]
a single noun phrase is required, but a noun list was used

specialTopicInactive (actor)msg_neu.t[1767]
a special topic can't be used right now, because it's inactive

uniqueObjectRequired (actor, txt, matchList)msg_neu.t[1947]
a unique object is required, but multiple objects were specified

wordIsUnknown (actor, txt)msg_neu.t[2102]
tell the user they entered a word we don't know, but don't offer an interactive way to fix it (i.e., we can't use OOPS at this point)

wrongReflexive (actor, typ, pronounWord)msg_neu.t[1881]
a reflexive pronoun disagrees in gender, number, or something else with its referent

zeroQuantity (actor, txt)msg_neu.t[1933]
'take zero books'
