Faithful Companion — 10 of 17

Section - Kludge for Accessibility

[The accessibility rules for doors are messed up, so that the ghost would be able to do things to a door even when two rooms away. This attempts to fixt that.]

To decide whether (portal - a door) is out of reach of (subject - a person):

if the holder of the subject is the front side of the portal, decide no;

if the holder of the subject is the back side of the portal, decide no;

decide yes. [This should also take care of the case where the ghost attempts to open a door from the coffin, though in fact that would only arise if you've already locked the ghost in the coffin and so won.]

Before the ghost doing something when the noun is a door (called the portal):

if the ghost is on the bench and action requires a touchable noun, try the ghost exiting; [otherwise we get the unsuccessful action for the ghost doing something to the door without the ghost getting off the bench]

if the portal is out of reach of the ghost:

stop the action.
