Hmmm... Interesting...
On Discworld I did this instead:
(roll
(pattern "<indirect:any-living>")
(pattern "<string>")
(pattern "<string> <indirect:any-living>")
(pattern "<indirect:any-living> <string>")
(single
(arguments
(arguments around on the floor laughing,up into a paper to be
delivered,
up into a ball,over and plays dead,sideways,backwards,
professionally,like a spy through an imaginary door,
fearfully,tightly,slowly,a joint)
(self "You roll $arg$.")
(rest "$mcname$ rolls $arg$.")
)
(arguments
(arguments eyes,own cigarette)
(self "You roll your $arg$.")
(rest "$mcname$ rolls $mposs$ $arg$.")
)
)
(targeted
(no-arguments
(self "You roll over $hcname$.")
(target "$mcname$ rolls over you.")
(rest "$mcname$ rolls over $hcname$.")
)
(arguments
(arguments quickly,slowly,painfully,excitedly,lovingly,carefully)
(self "You roll $arg$ over $hcname$.")
(target "$mcname$ rolls $arg$ over you.")
(rest "$mcname$ rolls $arg$ over $hcname$.")
)
)
)
Where it selects an output pattern based on the argument you give it. It
also specifies the pattens used to trigger the soul.
Good luck!
David.
