SPEECH
Type Roleplaying

SPEECH is a reference verb that has a built-in flag setting that controls how the SAY verb text is displayed on the user's end. When users select a different SPEECH PHRASING VIEW, it does not change anything for outgoing messages; it only changes how the game parses incoming messages. SPEECH also contains the method in which to see all the available verbs used in place of the default verbs "says", "asks", and "exclaims" when a character is speaking. The verbs listed in SPEECH VERBIAGE LIST are used in conjunction with TONE (verb) to personalize the outgoing speech string that other users see.

Usage

PHRASING LIST

SPEECH PHRASING LIST provides three options for settings.

Messaging
The following phrasings are available:
1. Standard phrasing
2. Name-first phrasing
3. Parentheses phrasing

PHRASING VIEW

SPEECH PHRASING VIEW outputs examples of the phrasing. To use, users must use the associated number from the phrasing list.

1 - Standard

Standard phrasing:

This phrasing method is the most appropriate phrasing from a narrative standpoint.  The exact phrasing varies based on which modifiers are present, with more complex combinations using an introductory clause.

Examples:

Someone says, "This is a test message."
Someone happily says, "This is a test message."
Speaking in Elven, Someone says, "This is a test message."
Speaking to an iron door, Someone says, "This is a test message."
From right behind you, Someone happily says, "This is a test message."
Speaking happily in Elven to an iron door, Someone says, "This is a test message."

2 - Name-first

Name-first phrasing:

This phrasing method places all modifiers in between the name of the speaker and the message, guaranteeing that the speaker's name appears as the first word on the line.

Examples:

Someone says, "This is a test message."
Someone happily says, "This is a test message."
Someone says, in Elven, "This is a test message."
Someone says, speaking to an iron door, "This is a test message."
Someone happily says, from right behind you, "This is a test message."
Someone says, speaking happily in Elven to an iron door, "This is a test message."

3 - Parentheses

Parentheses phrasing:

This phrasing method places all modifiers after the end of the message, enclosed in parentheses.

Examples:

Someone says, "This is a test message."
Someone says, "This is a test message." (happily)
Someone says, "This is a test message." (in Elven)
Someone says, "This is a test message." (to an iron door)
Someone says, "This is a test message." (happily, from right behind you)
Someone says, "This is a test message." (happily, in Elven, to an iron door)
