SpecialTopicActionclass
Invoke the active SpecialTopic. This isn’t a real command - the player will never actually type this; rather, it’s a pseudo-command that we send to ourselves from a string pre-parser when we recognize input that matches a SpecialTopic’s custom command syntax.
Note that we actually define the syntax for this command right here in the language-independent library, because this isn’t a real command. The user never needs to type this command, since it’s something we generate internally. The only important language issue is that we use a command keyword that no language will ever want to use for a real command, so we intentionally use some near-English gibberish.

Methods
decodeOrig (txt)
decode our encoding
encodeOrig (txt)
encode the original text for our literal phrase: turn double quotes into ‘%q’ sequences, and turn percent signs into ‘%%’ sequences
execAction ( )OVERRIDDEN
no description available
getEnteredText ( )
Get the original player-entered text. This is our literal phrase, with the embedded-quote encoding decoded.
repeatAction (lastTargetActor, lastTargetActorPhrase, lastIssuingActor, countsAsIssuerTurn)OVERRIDDEN
Repeat the action, for an AGAIN command. We need to make sure the special text interpretation we gave to the command still holds; if not, reparse the original text and try that.
