Technical forum / Dynamic Verb Choices
« on: January 25, 2011, 08:53:43 AM »
We have started designing our adventure and we got stuck because we do not know if our idea is supported by Wintermute.
The idea is not really original. We will have right click to pop up available actions on a hotspot (item, NPC). What we want is for those actions (verbs) to be dynamic. For instance, when I click on a book, the available actions will be Look, Read, Pickup, whereas when I click on a chair next to it the available actions will be Look, Sit, Push.
Is this possible in Wintermute? If yes, how easy/difficult is it to implement it? We need this now because if it is possible it will greately affect our game design.
(EDIT: Think of Sherlock Holmes and the case of the Rose Tattoo if you haven't understood what we need)
