A single action in detail. |
Pushing something (past tense pushed)
Pushing is the act of pushing
something not grossly larger than the actor by an amount which would not
substantially move it. (See also the pushing it to action, which involves
a longer-distance push between rooms.)
In the Standard Rules there are no carry out rules for this action because
nothing in the standard Inform world model which reacts to it. The action
is provided for authors to hang more interesting behaviour onto for special
cases: say, pulling a lever. ('The big red lever is a fixed in place device.
Instead of pulling the big red lever, try switching on the lever. Instead
of pushing the big red lever, try switching off the lever.')
