Overview

This MUDL function gets called whenever someone types the given command. So, if you wanted something to happen whenever someone in the room bows, then you would create a MUDL function "on_bow". Note that the MUDL is called BEFORE the command is executed.


Command Syntax

addproc <room|mobile|object> mudl
setproc <room|mobile|object> ## on_command


Global Variables

The following global variables are available:

Name Type Description
 %a Character The character or mobile that initiated the command.
 %c Character The mobile that the MUDL script is attached to. This value is null if the script is attached to a room or object.
 %o Object The object that the MUDL script is attached to. This value is null if the script is attached to a room or mobile.
 %r Room The room that the MUDL script is attached to. This value is null if the script is attached to a mobile or object.
 %s String array The arguments the player typed after the command.


Return Values

Your "on_something" MUDL function should return a boolean. If it returns true, that means the command has been intercepted and the MUD should act as if it didn't happen; if it returns false, then the MUD will proceed with the command as normal.


Triggered Scripts

MUDL attached to rooms are always triggered by on_something functions. For MUDL on mobs, on_something functions get called whenever anybody in the room issues a command. Ditto for objects on the floor. For objects in inventory, it gets called whenever the owner issues a command, unless it's in a container in which case it doesn't get called at all. For MUDL on worn/ wielded items it will be called whenever anybody in the room issues a command.
