Having both DIRECTION TO and ON GO DIRECTION

Terminal Land

Having created a place, I’d like to be able to have an ON GO DIRECTION response even for directions that actually lead somewhere. So it would give the RESPOND text and then move you in that direction. That way I can customize a transition that fits the place.

Second that, that would make the interaction a lot of fun

The current grammar is a bit limited, and the ON ACTION thing is probably going to be replaced with INSTEAD OF. We’ll also soon have BEFORE and AFTER.

So the idea would be that you could do BEFORE GO NORTH to make something happen before the action is even attempted, AFTER GO NORTH to make something happen after the player has successfully moved north, and INSTEAD OF GO NORTH to effectively intercept the entire action and do something else instead.

So for what you want, it might look like:

BEFORE GO NORTH
  RESPOND You ignore the warning sign and head off to the north anyway.

Will hopefully have this in place soon!
