The $player
class defines a number of verbs that allow the player
to change and view certain of his/her characteristics. The following
commands are available :
- Command: help/information/?
-
- Command: help topic
-
- Command: help index
-
- Command: help object:verbname
-
- Command: help $something_utils
-
This command is used to print out entries from the online documentation
system. The first form prints out a summary table of contents for the
entire help system.
The second form prints out the documentation available on the given
topic. Many help system entries contain references to other
entries accessible in this way. The topic name may be abbreviated in
either of two ways: you may give only a prefix of the complete topic
name (e.g., `bui' instead of `building') and you may omit an
initial `@' character (e.g., `who' instead of `@who').
If the abbreviation you give is ambiguous, you will be presented with a
list of the matching complete topic names.
The `help index' commands prints out a complete list of all help topic
names, arranged alphabetically. It is sometimes easier to find the
topics you're interested in this way, rather than tracing through the
chain of cross references.
Finally, we have two addtional forms that are likely to be only of use
to programmers:
help object:verbname
This is used to print any documentation strings that are present at the
beginning of the program for that verb.
help $foo_utils
prints general information about one of the $..._utils
objects
(e.g., $string_utils
, $list_utils
, etc...), which are all
libraries of generally used verbs.
The commands `?' and `information' (usually abbreviated
`info') are synonyms for `help'.
- Command: @quit
-
This command is used to disconnect from the MOO. This breaks your
network connection and leaves your player sleeping. Disconnecting in
most parts of the MOO automatically returns your player to its
designated home.
- Command: @gender gender
-
- Command: @gender
-
The first form, with an argument, defines your player to have the gender
gender. If gender is one of the standard genders (e.g.,
`male', `female', `neuter',...), your various pronouns
will also be set appropriately, making exits and certain other objects
behave more pleasantly for you.
The second form tells you the current definition of your player's
gender, your current pronouns, and the complete list of standard
genders.
- Command: @password old-password new-password
-
Changes your player's password (as typed in the `connect' command
when you log in to the MOO) to new-password. For security
reasons, you are required to type your current (soon to be old) password
as the first argument.
Your password is stored in an encrypted form in the MOO database; in
principle, not even the wizards can tell what it is, though they can
change it, of course.
- Command: @sethome
-
Sets your designated home (see `help home') to be the room you're
in now. If the current room wouldn't allow you to teleport in, then the
`@sethome' command nicely refuses to set your home there. This
avoids later, perhaps unpleasant, surprises.
