EXTRA_LOOK(L)
NAME
extra_look - Give a description for a player carrying an object
SYNOPSIS
string extra_look();
LOCATION
Possible in any object a player might carry.
DESCRIPTION
The local function extra_look is used in objects carried by
players to give them an extra description above their
inventory listing when they are examined or looked at.
NOTES
A ".\n" is automatically appended to the return value.
Remember that this_player() will return the person doing
the examining, and environment() will return the person
who is being examined (or looked at).
Can be used for guild descriptions, diseases and curses,
and simple "description" makers.
The descriptions are only added to players, not npc's.
EXAMPLES
string extra_look() {
return environment()->query_name() +
" is a member of the Guild of Platypuses";
}
or, my favorite for making players paranoid,
string extra_look() {
return environment()->query_name() +
" is watching " + this_player()->query_name() + " carefully";
}
