Class: NounMustBe

Defined in: adventure/dictionary/NounMustBe.js, line 6

Framework class

NounMustBe is a special class used while parsing Input to specify general conditions that a noun must meet for a Verb to act on it. This is a broad set of exclusions used to narrow items by class or by certain properties, or availability to the player character. Exclusion is handled by Parser.qualifyParsedNoun. Each verb has more specific logic to handle more specific conditions. This is an internal class that authors should not need to construct, though there are methods to allow authors to customize these settings per Verb. See Modify Verbs for more info.

Private Constructor:

var foo = new adventurejs.NounMustBe()
