Version 8 of Bulk Limiter by Eric Eve begins here.

"Containers and actors that limit their contents by bulk"

Include Plurality by Emily Short.

A thing has a number called bulk.
The bulk of a thing is normally 1.

A container has a number called bulk capacity.
The bulk capacity of a container is normally 10.

A person has a number called bulk capacity.
The bulk capacity of a person is normally 100.


Check an actor inserting into when the second noun provides the property bulk capacity (this is the bulk test rule):
if the bulk of the noun is greater than the bulk capacity of the second noun,
say "[The noun] [is-are] too big to fit in [the second noun]." instead;
if the bulk of the noun is greater than the free capacity of the second noun,
say "There is not enough room left in [the second noun] for [the noun]." instead;

Check an actor taking when the actor provides the property bulk capacity
(this is the person bulk test rule):
if the bulk of the noun is greater than the bulk capacity of the actor,
say "[The noun] [is-are] too big for [if the actor is the player]you[otherwise][the actor][end if] to pick up." instead;
if the bulk of the noun is greater than the free capacity of the actor,
say "[if the actor is the player]You don't[otherwise][the actor] doesn't[end if] have enough room left to carry [the noun]." instead;

To decide what number is the free capacity of (targetbox - a container):
let sum be the total bulk of the things in the targetbox;
now sum is the bulk capacity of the targetbox minus sum;
decide on the sum.

To decide what number is the free capacity of (targetperson - a person):
let sum be the total bulk of the things carried by targetperson;
now sum is the bulk capacity of the targetperson minus sum;
decide on the sum.
