A thing whose identity and placement are tied to another object.

Audience: author

Superclass: Thing

Subclasses: AttachableComponent

Declared members¶

• isDecoration — property; Part of its owner's description, not a separate line in the room.
• isDetachable — property; Whether it may be prised off. An AttachableComponent says yes.
• isFixed — property; internal
• rank — method; And it is the one you did not mean when something else could be taken.
• refuses — method; Taking a part says what it is part of, rather than the room's stock refusal, because the handle is part of the lantern is the answer a player actually wanted. refuses answers text, so this reads the message rather than saying it.
