Add a (possessive) option for object.name allowing text to say "her hat" or "his hat" instead (Definite) "the hat" or (Indefinite) "a hat".

The Possessive option is on the character name. So to do what you want, you would use Hat.HeldByWho.Name(Possessive).

Here is an example of what I was going for:

"Bob's head is covered by HIS HAT"

If using Hat.WornbyWho.Name(Possessive), you still need to add the Hat.Name(definite/indefinite) to complete the sentence giving "Bob's head is covered by HIS THE/A HAT". I was looking for a way to get rid of the THE/A.

PS: Character1.Worn.Property5.List(Indefinite) was the expression I was using to filter what the character was wearing on the head. (property5 being a flag for a head piece of clothing). I would like to be able to replace (Indefinite) by (Possessive) to get end result => his hat or her hat.

In 5.0.32 you'll be able to return the object name without the article using Object.Name(None)

That's good enough for me. It would work with a .LIST as well giving you his hat, glasses and scarf".

This item can be closed.
