Bug - Not A Bug Problem aborting in consult function

[bumcheekcity]

string a(int round, string opp, string text) {
abort("fail");
return "attack";
}

adventure(1, $location[Pond], "a");

Using the above code, I get the following battle (note that noodles/cannon is my current CSS):

> ash string a(int round, string opp, string text) {     abort("fail"); return "attack"; } adventure(1, $location[Pond], "a");

I would expect this to abort the whole script and let the user handle the remainder of combat. Is there another way of doing this in a consult function, or is this unintended behaviour?

 

[Veracity]

I'll have to consider whether I want an aborting filter to abort the enclosing script. I do note that simply returning "abort" as your action does exactly what you want. For example:

string a(int round, string opp, string text)
{
	return "abort";
}

adventure( 1, $location[Giant's Castle], "a" );

yielded this:
