Title: Sierra's parser... I didn't know you could do this...
Post by: troflip on May 27, 2016, 01:54:52 AM

If you type "look man" (or whatever object), you can then type follow up references that include pronouns (like "look him"), and they'll be treated as if you had typed "man" (or whatever noun you last specified in a response).

(found by poking around the ScummVM code)

The man prefers gender neutral pronouns, if that's what you like.

No I mean like "look at frobnozzle", "toss it".

I though you were making a joke.

More specifically, *any* pronoun will be replaced by the object of the previous parsed sentence (if any).

I'm not always joking, but thanks.
