Pushing something to something (past tense pushed it to)

This action covers pushing a large object, not being carried, so that the actor pushes it from one room to another: for instance, pushing a bale of hay to the east.

This is rapidly converted into a special form of the going action. If the noun object has the either/or property 'pushable between rooms', then the action is converted to going by the 'standard pushing in directions rule'. If that going action succeeds, then the original pushing it to action stops; it's only if that fails that we run on into the 'block pushing in directions rule', which then puts an end to the matter.
