Sheathing

[Beux]

It's not a big deal, but I'd reaaally like to see the guards at the gate, remind you in some way to sheathe your weapons when you enter a city/town/village. No where really likes you to have your weapons out, and it makes sense that the guards would rather you sheathe them before entering their city.

I know this would really help me, because obviously my char would realise they still had their weapons drawn, you couldn't miss it, but I, as a player, -constantly- forget. It's really annoying, and I keep wishing the guards would remind me before I step into a posh tavern and get -a lot- of funny looks.

It wouldn't be hard to code right? To have a gate guard say something like

'Oi you, put yeh weapon away if yeh comin' in here!'

Oooh ooh, or better yet: since 'assess' now shows if someone is armed or not, how about adding an 'armed' variable to the prompt?  Says "armed" if you are, outputs nothing if you aren't.

Code Select Expand

>prompt %h/%v/%t/%A>

100/120/100/>

100/120/100/> draw sword

You draw an obsidian longsword.

100/120/100/Armed>

Yes please. Either will do.

EDIT:

Actually I spent half an hour getting beaten up yesterday by something that I should have killed in a couple of hits, because i forgot i'd sheathed my weapons. So prompt please.

Uh, depending on what client you use, you could do this yourself.  I did, and it was rather simple.  Just check to see if your client has some sort of static indicator, like a status bar or somesuch.

[Beux]

Uhuh. And that didn't go straight over my head. Honest.

Not all mudders are clever geeks. Some of us are just dorks.

If your client can set up simple triggers, I think it would be allowed for you to do something like:

pattern: Saving at the gates of Allanak

action: sheathe kank-prod;sheathe umbrella

Mmmm, custom prompts.  I haven't, as yet, set up anything for Armageddon, but this reminds me.

this is the best solution, that or being aware of your character. Turning off aim, your email, etc helps a long way toward character awareness and immersion.

I lost a long long lived character when I attacked a creature I was supposed to
gather the meat from. I have killed plenty before in quick hits, this time I attacked
without my weapons though and found out how hard it could hit. I died and it
was sad.
