USE:
- Use form one when there's no possible ambiguity. In the example, there's only one box in the current room, or in your inventory.
- Use form two or three when more information is needed to interpret the command - that is, there's more than one possible item by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, there's a door to the North, a door to the East, etc.
- Use form two or three when more information is needed to interpret the command - that is, there's more than one possible item by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, there's a door to the North, a door to the East, etc.
- Use form four when there are many instances of <thing> within your reach, and you want to close one of them in particular.
Note that, as is typically true of most TriadCity commands, Close searches for <thing>
in a specific order, starting with the room you're in, then your worn or wielded equipment, then your inventory.
So, if there's a box in the room, and a box in your inventory, the command "close box" will close
the one in the room, not your inventory. You'd need to use "close 2.box" for the latter.
There are many conditions which could prevent you from being able to open or
close a particular item. You may be too weak, or paralyzed, or blinded and unable to find the item.
