Objects in ADRIFT are anything that can be seen, touched or referred to, and that are not characters. They are normally categorised as one of two types; dynamic objects, that can be picked up and moved about, and static, which cannot.
Description
The Description tab allows you to set the name of the object, and give it a description.
Article is a mandatory field. ADRIFT expects an indefinite article here. This is normally used when a noun is being referred to for the very first time, and is typically a or an in English. ADRIFT will automatically accept the definite article ("the") when matching object names, and will replace the indefinite article with the definite article in prose when using the %TheObject[key]% function.
Prefix/Adjective is an optional field, but is used to distinguish objects with the same name, or to qualify the noun, giving more information about the object signified. Multiple adjectives can be added, separated by a space. However, all adjectives will be listed when the object is listed during play. So for example, you might set this to "large green", "wooden", "fragile old" etc.
