The subject message has started popping up at every entry (>) starting with the first one. There does not seem to be an associated error condition, i.e. nothing that was working is now not working.
I have searched without success looking for a source or a cause. Has anyone encountered this ghost?

Do you have any custom commands that might be interfering with the prompt's default behaviour?

When this happened to me, it turned out to be related to an action that I was having an NPC try to do. Something like:



It might not even be a custom command, though.

Let's revisit this problem. I still can't seem to find a solution.

Have you tried the debugging command "actions" to find what action is generating the message? Or, at a finer level of detail, "rules all".

Actually the problem has nothing to do with NPCs performing the action or the action being a custom action. This will give the same problem.





What's going on here is that you have defined an action to apply to one thing, then *not* supplied that thing, therefore the noun is still nothing and the error message is given.

There are three ways you can fix this.

1. You can add a rule for supplying a missing noun to automatically set the noun, like so.



2. You can supply the noun directly, like so.



3. You can redefine the action to apply to nothing, like so.



Overall, you need to make sure you have the right number of nouns to fit the action.

Hope this helps.
