Advanced Tutorial -- Step 5: Clean up some loose ends in the story----|-- Back | Next | Index Duplicate a rule Let’s make two new look commands to handle the vine bridge appearing and disappearing. Make the first rule in this table by clicking New and entering these fields. But make the second rule by clicking Duplicate instead of New and just changing the context field (since everything else will be the same). You should have two new rules as follows.

> pet the squirrel
The squirrel wags its bushy tail and stares at you with love in its eyes.
Either that, or it's hungry.
> feed the big nut to the squirrel
The squirrel makes short work of the nut, and in gratitude, scampers off and
returns with a small nut made of gold.

This seems to be a missing part from some bolt on a mechanical device
somewhere.

The squirrel avoids the blow and scampers off.

> go onto the vine bridge
You go onto the vine bridge.

fairly flimsy.
> cut the bridge
You don't have anything to cut the bridge with. Besides, you are on it!
> jump up and down
The bridge collapses, and you luckily escape destruction yourself by
fortuitously falling onto a deep pile of pine needles. Hearing all the noise, a hermit
shows up.
> undo
(You decide not to say "jump up and down")
> look
You are walking across a vine bridge. You can enter a tree top or go to a tree
house.
> go to the tree house
You go to the tree house.
> look
You are in a swaying tree house. There is a rope ladder here which goes higher
into the tree. You see a jewel encrusted knife here. You can go onto a vine
bridge attached here.
> take the knife
You take the knife. It fits your hand perfectly. It has a nice balance.
> examine the knife
It is jewel encrusted, mostly with emeralds. It has the initials "AS" carved
on the bottom.
> inventory
You are holding a jewel encrusted knife. You are carrying a golden nut.
> climb up the rope ladder
You climb up the rope ladder, which ends just below an owl's nest.

You are climbing on a rope ladder. There is an owl in the nest above you.
> say hello
The owl says nothing.
> say hi
The owl says nothing.

into the tree. You can go onto a vine bridge attached here.
> go onto the vine bridge
You go onto the vine bridge.
> cut the bridge
Even though you're standing on it, you cut the bridge. You fall to the forest
floor, surviving only because a pile of pine needles cushions your fall.
Hearing all the noise, a hermit shows up.
> look
You are in the forest. There are many majestic trees here. There is some vine
bridge wreckage here. You see a hermit here.
> examine the vine bridge wreckage
You poke through the remains of what appears to have been a vine bridge. Such
vandalism. Bet you somebody gets in trouble for this.
> carve initials into a tree
That would hurt the tree. You start to anyway, and wind up accidentally
cutting yourself instead.
> hello sir
The hermit says nothing.
> nice day, isn't it?
The hermit says nothing.
> hello sir
The hermit says nothing.
> nice day, isn't it?
The hermit says nothing.

The hermit snatches it out of your hands and says, "mine!"
> give me back that knife!
The hermit says, "Mine!"
> give me back that knife!
The hermit says, "Mine!"
> whose initials are on the knife?
The hermit cowers a little, and tries to sneak a peek at the knife, and then
says "Not mine." and hands it back.
> you really should not take things that don't belong to you
The hermit looks at you kind of funny, and walks away.
> undo
(You decide not to say "you really should not take things that don't belong to
you")
> they are not mine either
The hermit chants, "Arnie, Arnie, Arnie!" and walks away.
> undo
(You decide not to say "they are not mine either")
> can you tell me anything about this nut?
The hermit snatches it out of your hands and says, "mine!"
> give me back that nut!
The hermit says, "Mine!"

The hermit cowers a little, and fidgets, and then says "Not mine" and hands it
back.
> nice day, isn't it?
The hermit says nothing.
> hello sir
The hermit says nothing.
> they are not mine either
The hermit chants, "Arnie, Arnie, Arnie!" and walks away.
