| Get At Most 1 Bit Of Information From Blog Post, posted on Mon Nov 18 04:29:44 2024 | | Posted by: Presto | | Category: General | Bing.
Ye olde 'get' command has gotten a small upgrade. The 'get at most' syntax should now work for money and continuous items (like ash) ... with a few restrictions:
1. The syntax hasn't changed; it's still "get at most <number> <things> [from <containers>]. This means you can't do something like 'get at most 1 handful of ash, 3 carrots from sacks'
2. You can't mix 'n' match different types of continuous objects. This means if you have grey ash and black ash, and you say 'get at most 20 pinches of ash from sacks", then whichever kind of ash is found first is what you get from then on. Note that you're still restricted to one handful (of anything that has 'handfuls' that is.)
3. You can only get one denomination of money. This is really just an extension of point 1. Note however than you *can* use a denomination even if it's not actually present, but other denominations from the same area are. That is, you can do 'get at most 5 AM dollars from sacks' even if you only have AM pence available. The command does try to be clever about taking from containers in an order that allows you to get the full amount you asked for, but I can't guarantee it will work perfectly in all cases.
