Prime Multiple Verbs to Conjugate for gActor

[inventor200]

Problem Statement

When using tokens in strings to automatically conjugate verbs, there is a case where a verb will "reset" the context of the sentence, causing following verbs to conjugate according to a default "it" noun.

The following demonstrates this behavior:

"{I} {hold} onto the ledge, drop{s/?ed},
and land{s/ed} on the floor below.";

creates:

I hold onto the ledge, drops, and lands on the floor below.

Solution

To fix this, the following code provides a new conjugation token (written as {aac}). Simply add or include this code before the rest of your project to make use of it:

/*
 * Actor Action Continuer (AAC)
 * Joseph Cramsey
 */
actorActionContinuer_: dummy_ {
    person = (gActor == nil ? 3 : gActor.person)
    plural = (gActor == nil ? nil : gActor.plural)
}

// A modified englishMessageParams will have our new token.
modify englishMessageParams {
    construct() {
        // Add the simplified message token
        params = params.append(['aac', { ctx, params:
            cmdInfo(ctx, actorActionContinuer_, &dummyName, vSubject)
        }]);

        inherited();
    }
}

With this, we now have the following behavior for all strings:

"{I} {hold} onto the ledge,{aac} drop{s/?ed},{aac}
and land{s/ed} on the floor below.";

creates:

I hold onto the ledge, drop, and land on the floor below.

As long as the {aac} token precedes a verb, the verb will be conjugated according to the gActor of the current action.
