asset_id

asset_id :Getter

Defined in: Adventure/ParsedNoun.js, line 215

Todos: returning this.is_unambiguous breaks with platonics because you wind up with this: is_unambiguous: "platonic_pistachio" matches: all: ['platonic_pistachio'] qindex: 0 qualified:['pistachio_0']

Getter function looks for a qualified asset id, and if it doesn't find one, it returns the first qualified match.

Default value: false

input

input :String

The asset name found in user input, though that may already have been replaced with an asset ID by the time this noun gets parsed.

is_all :Boolean

Defined in: Adventure/ParsedNoun.js, line 53

Default value: false

is_assumed

is_assumed :Boolean

Defined in: Adventure/ParsedNoun.js, line 170

Defined in: Adventure/ParsedNoun.js, line 191

Default value: ""

is_unambiguous

is_unambiguous :String

Defined in: Adventure/ParsedNoun.js, line 149

Default value: ""

If a singular asset was found that matched the input, store its ID here. We only use this in support of setting is_qualified, the ultimate arbiter. we set unambiguous but never really rely on it due to the scenario described above - safer to use ParsedNoun.asset_id it also causes an issue with substances in handleSentence where substance is unambiguous though multiple substance containers are found

matchcode

matchcode :Object

Defined in: Adventure/ParsedNoun.js, line 135

Default value: ""

matches.qualified can be set from many places. matchcode is a code used to debug where it was set.
