Pronoun target

Post by Amalia » Sat Apr 14, 2007 8:56 am

I'm not certain of the difficulty that would be involved in coding this, but if it wouldn't require much, I think it might be quite handy to have a pronoun target.

For example, when targeting Bob, a male human:

$bob
targets the character, gives the description or name or 'you' depending upon who's seeing the smote

and the command I'm suggesting, maybe something like
#bob
targets bob but provides the appropriate pronoun for him instead of his name or description.

So, for example, one might smote:

smote smiles at $bob and asks #bob "How are you today?"

yielding:

(people Bob has greeted) X smiles at Bob and asks him "How are you today?"
(people Bob has not gereted)X smiles at a male human and asks him "How are you today?"
(Bob's player)X smiles at you and asks you "How are you today?"
Dear Enemy: May the Lord hate you and all your kind, may you be turned orange in hue, and may your head fall off at an awkward moment.

"$m" handles this in code right now for echos and such. Developing it into a command should be possible.
