NPC agenda is triggered by "look x" actions, even if look does not count as an action #4

Hello again.

I'm dabbling in QuestJS again, and I encountered this behaviour. I do not know if this is a bug, an oversight, or working as intended.

My NPC's agenda is triggered when using a look x action, even if the LOOK_COUNTS_AS_TURN setting is at false. This does not happen if I simply use look.

In the picture below, I programmed the biker's agenda to go through a series of text commands, each one a greeting in a different language. I expected the texts to be displayed only after using wait, or going back-and-forth the room.

Nevermind, I was looking at the look command, not at the look at. Once I did, the solution appeared relatively simply. One needs to define the examine attribute of the item the player looks at as a function, and add a return false.

A QoL evolution could be of adding a "default return" option, allowing you to declare that such and such command returns false, when in string form or no return is specified.

I'm closing the issue.
