Hi

I know this has been asked before, refer you to the following link
https://textadventures.co.uk/forum/quest/topic/lqrzx5-mak2yaqmlvi01ra/i-little-thing-but-it-stands-out-a-mile

but its really the dictionary aspect that I'm writing about

<conjugations type="stringdictionary">
  <item><key>pass out</key><value>passes out</value></item>
  <item><key>@ with</key><value> with</value></item>
  <item><key>@ by</key><value> by</value></item>
  <item><key>@ on</key><value> on</value></item>
  <item><key>@ at</key><value> at</value></item>
  <item><key>*ay</key><value>ays</value></item>
  <item><key>*oy</key><value>oys</value></item>
  <item><key>*ey</key><value>eys</value></item>
  <item><key>*y</key><value>ies</value></item>
  <item><key>*ss</key><value>sses</value></item>
  <item><key>*s</key><value>sses</value></item>
  <item><key>*sh</key><value>shes</value></item>
  <item><key>*ch</key><value>ches</value></item>
  <item><key>*o</key><value>oes</value></item>
  <item><key>*x</key><value>xes</value></item>
  <item><key>*z</key><value>zes</value></item>
  <item><key>*</key><value>s</value></item>
</conjugations>

And mrangel if they're about
Is it a function called DictionaryItem, if so, how is that coded?

Apologies again for bringing this issue up again

Ok,
So I've now put the code into the game after the

Is there a way to put the code into a library.
I've tried, but it comes up with an error '

Or do I have to manually cut and paste that code into every game i make.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

ok,

I finally figured this out.
If you want to put it in a library, you have to put it into an object first. I'm using the object 'zz9'.

So...

<library>

<function name="Conjugate" parameters="obj, verb" type="string">
    gender = obj.gender
    if (gender = "he" or gender = "she") {
      gender = "it"
    }
    switch (verb) {
      case ("be") {
        switch (gender) {
          case ("i") {
            return ("am")
          }
          case ("you") {
            return ("are")
          }
          case ("it") {
            return ("is")
          }
          case ("we") {
            return ("are")
          }
          case ("they") {
            return ("are")
          }
          default {
            return ("is")
          }
        }
      }
      case ("do") {
        switch (gender) {
          case ("i") {
            return ("do")
          }
          case ("you") {
            return ("do")
          }
          case ("it") {
            return ("does")
          }
          case ("we") {
            return ("do")
          }
          case ("they") {
            return ("do")
          }
          default {
            return ("do")
          }
        }
      }
      default {
        if (gender = "it") {
          foreach (ending, zz9.conjugations) {
            if (ending = verb) {
              return (DictionaryItem (zz9.conjugations, verb))
            }
            else if (Left (ending, 1) = "@" and EndsWith (verb, Mid (ending, 2))) {
              return (Conjugate (obj, Left (verb, LengthOf(verb) - LengthOf(ending) + 1)) + DictionaryItem (zz9.conjugations, ending))
            }
            else if (Left (ending, 1) = "*" and EndsWith (verb, Mid (ending, 2))) {
              return (Left (verb, LengthOf(verb) - LengthOf(ending) + 1) + DictionaryItem (zz9.conjugations, ending))
            }
          }
          return (verb + "s")

Hope this helps someone in the future.

Ideally, you'd put it in the defaultgame type so it's in the game object… but I don't think Quest supports type overloading, so you'd have to copy the whole type over from CoreTypes.aslx.
