Are you aware there is already a command that does this? It outputs to the console, rather than the screen; is that what your point is?

I was not aware of that.

Hrmm... I just looked for it and still don't see it.

I see :

DebugWalkThrough (undefined)

DebugInspect (undefined)

DebugInspectByName (undefined)

DebugTest (undefined)

DebugInspectCommand (undefined)

DebugListCommands (undefined or undefined)

DebugParserToggle (undefined)

I also tried entering PRONOUNS before I decided to create a pronouns command.

What is the name and/or pattern of this command of which you speak?

It outputs to the console, rather than the screen

If I'd have found the existing equivalent of the PRONOUNS command, I probably would have just modified it to print to the screen.

is that what your point is?

I'm just trying to make a game that either (A) lives up to or (B) surpasses the expectations of serious text adventurers, most of whom are accustomed to standard/common commands .

In this case, PRONOUNS is a command I see players use when they are playing a game in which the turn count matters and a wasted turn could be the difference between a perfect ending and an average one.

Typing PRONOUNS should have worked. It does for me. It is around line 253 in _commands.js.

I understood it to be for debugging. If you are that worried about the turn count, type the word, not IT. That will be less typing than doing PRONOUNS first, I would have thought.

By the way, I started a thread on MetraCommands on IntFiction, which is where I first heard of it.

I probably messed something up in one of my files, then.

A-ha! Touché, sir!

That is solid logic, I must admit.

Also, I must admit that "it" isn't as important in a Quest game. In the old parsers, we had to type at least 6 letters of a name for the game to understand. So, "it" came in very handy.
