Scope question

Does anyone recall the syntax of a test to determine if an object is currently in scope? For instance, I want the player to be able to access his phone if the phone is anywhere in the room. Something like
if phone.scope = true
then DoDesiredRoutine
or something like
if scope(phone)
then DoDesiredRoutine
... and the worst part is, I know I did this somewhere in Necrotic Drift, I just can't remember where. Heh. I think this is gonna be the thing I push off until morning, I'm all coded out tonight. ^______________________^[/quote]

Didn't Duffy have a phone in his inventory to ask for doors to be opened and shit?

Looking at the manual, it looks like you might want to use the in_scope property and maybe the PutInScope and RemoveFromScope routines.

CheckReach(object) -- defined in hugolib.h. I think it prints messages if the object can't be reached or isn't in the current room, so it might not be ideal if you're just wanting to do a test and print nothing. But it's the only thing I'm aware of that can check and see if an object is in scope.
Then again, FindObject() might do what you want. It returns whether the object is in the room or not, or whether it's accessible even if it is.

Yeah, though I think that was just a conduit to talk to Trott, who was elsewhere most of the game.

You should see if you can get Ogrish's phpBB template. It's the best one I've seen, and it is red and black.

I would like to see more execution videos here, though.
