GetScoping issue when using object1 and object2

[KVonGit]

I noticed that my commands with scope attribute values like object1=inventory|object2=container weren't really doing anything in a teeny tiny test game.

Note

It only seems to effect commands with allow_all set to true.

So, I modified GetScoping:

  <function name="GetScoping" parameters="scopestring, variable" type="string">
    lst = Split(scopestring, "|")
    if (ListCount(lst) = 1) {
      return (scopestring)
    }
    foreach (s, lst) {
      if (StartsWith(s, variable + "=")) {
        return (Mid(s, LengthOf(variable) + 2))
      }
      else if (variable = "object") { // This else if is new
        if (StartsWith(s, "object1=") or StartsWith(s, "object2=")) {
          return (Mid(s, LengthOf(variable) + 3))
        }
      }
    }
    return ("all")
  </function>

That seems to fix the issue, but I usually overlook things.

    <script>
      msg ("cmd_foo...")
      OutputTextNoBr ("object1: ")
      msg (object1)
      OutputTextNoBr ("object2: ")
      msg (object2)
    </script>
    <allow_all />
  </command>
</asl>

To test that, enter FOO ALL AT BOB.

Based on the scope, I would expect ALL to mean things in my inventory for object1 and the opposite for object2, but ALL for either (or both) will mean everything visible.

Now, the same game, with the modified GetScoping:
