Hi,

I have the following code:

Code:

++ TellTopic [obj1, obj2, obj3, obj4]
    "A generic response. "
;

I would like to reference the matchObj name property that triggered this, can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
-- Mike

Maybe gAction.getDobj(), or probably gAction.getIobj()? (They also have convenience macros in adv3.h: gDobj and gIobj.) They return the current action's (gAction) direct and indirect object.

I had tried gDobj (that returned the NPC) and gIobj crashed the terp' with a null reference so I gave up on that and came looking here.

I just searched adv3.h for those convenience macros and I found gTopicText -- that did the trick...

Thanks, Nikos!
