Not implementing the "say" command

Story does what I tell it to do, that is, it keeps the player from moving from the lavatory to the bedroom, but it does not implement the “say” command, nor does it indicate what room the player is (still) in.

[code]Check going northwest in the Lavatory when the player holds can:
say “Where do you think you’re going with that stuff in your hands?”;
stop the action.

Check going northwest in the Lavatory when the player wears foam:
say “Where do you think you’re going with that stuff in your hands?”;
stop the action.

Check going northwest in the Lavatory when the player holds razor:
say “Where do you think you’re going with that stuff in your hands?”;
stop the action.

Check going northwest in the Lavatory when the player holds tube:
say “Where do you think you’re going with that stuff in your hands?”;
stop the action.

Check going northwest in the Lavatory when the player holds cap:
say “Where do you think you’re going with that stuff in your hands?”;
stop the action.

Check going northwest in the Lavatory when the player holds toothbrush:
say “Where do you think you’re going with that stuff in your hands?”;
stop the action.[/code]

Try the “rules” command and see what rule is firing.

Replaced the check rules with instead, seems to work.

Unanticipated problem: now I can’t get out of the lavatory.

Yipes!

I can’t move out of the lavatory; I thought the continue the action command would do it, but it ain’t!

[code]Instead of going northwest in the Lavatory:
if the player holds comb:
say “Where do you think you’re going with that stuff in your hands?”;
stop the action;
otherwise:
if the player holds can:
say “Where do you think you’re going with that stuff in your hands?”;
stop the action;
otherwise:
if the player wears foam:
say “Where do you think you’re going with that stuff on your face?”;
stop the action;
otherwise:
if the player holds razor:
say “Where do you think you’re going with that stuff in your hands?”;
stop the action;
otherwise:
if the player holds tube:
say “Where do you think you’re going with that stuff in your hands?”;
stop the action;
otherwise:
if the player holds cap:
say “Where do you think you’re going with that stuff in your hands?”;
stop the action;
otherwise:
if the player holds toothbrush:
say “Where do you think you’re going with that stuff in your hands?”;
stop the action;
otherwise:
continue the action.

Instead of going northwest while player is in Lavatory:
if player is not combed:
say “Your hair is mussed up”;
stop the action;
otherwise:
if player is not shaven:
say “Really, man, you got stubble the size of asperagus.”;
stop the action;
otherwise:
if player is not brushed:
say “Are you kidding? Stanley Kowalski has better breath than you do right now.”;
stop the action;
otherwise:
if player wears foam:
say “Your haven[’]t dealt with the Burma-Shave yet.”;
stop the action;
otherwise:
continue the action.[/code]

Nix on all of the above; things are working now.
