I'm new to Inform 7. I've been playing around with the 'Bogart' example which provides some rules for clothing.
I have something like:
The player wears a jacket, a jumper, a shirt, some underpants, a pair of men's blue jeans, a pair of socks.
Now I want to add a property to clothing, e.g.:
An item of clothing is a kind of thing.
An item of clothing can be removable. An item of clothing is usually removable.
At this point it looks like I have to go through and explicitly define each item worn by the player as being an item of clothing, such as:
A pair of socks is an item of clothing.
A jumper is an item of clothing.
A jacket is an item of clothing.
...etc for everything the player is wearing.
I would like to find a way to tell Inform that everything worn by the player is an item of clothing or even everything wearable is an item of clothing. So far I haven't found any form of this that will compile, is it possible?
It's not possible. The best you can do is:
The jacket, the jumper, the shirt, the underpants, the pair of men's blue jeans,
and the pair of socks are item of clothing.
