Description
This is an artifact of the way we search for objects. We have two valid results when it comes to finding objects:
- You're carrying the object.
- The object is in the space place as you, and is not invisible.
This allows "USE TORCH" to work, whether you've got it in your inventory, or in the same room as you. However the side-effect of this is that you can drop an item you're not carrying.
For example:
down- You are in the middle floor of the lighthouse.
inv- You are not carrying anything
drop book- You drop it
Compare that to:
- drop torch
- You're not carrying that!
- drop rug
- You're not carrying that!
Those would appear to succeed if you were in the appropriate locations.
