Common Syntax

[Tairai]

Is there a cheat sheet of common code syntax somewhere?

[Saellyn]

Help Emote is a -huge- help.

Common syntax?

N - North
E - East
S -South
W - West

Exit: shows you exits
L (n e s w)
Shows you the direction you look in

Mercy on: You won't automatically go for a killing blow or attack fleeing targets.
Mercy off: The opposite of mercy on

Nosave Combat: Toggles whether you attack back if someone initiates combat.

Nosave in general

Draw <item, sheath> Draws the item from that sheath.

Sheath <item, sheath> Sheaths an item into a sheath or location.

Kill <x>: Initiates combat.

Hit <x>: Inside a bar, initiates brawl code. Outside a bar... uh, don't do it. Just do kill.

sit at <table/bench/etc>

look tables (to see who's sitting where and if there's any seats left)
- Also, you can also do 'sit at 1/2/3' etc.

help contact

help talk

Also: Help tuluk/allanak map

There's a lot of info here, but this is a great place to look for stuff.

Please feel free to keep adding to this thread. Once it reaches a stage of 'completion' (as deemed by you the players) we can look at a few options including stickying this and adding it to the website in a prominent position so that newbies can access it as they first enter the game.

Can it be stickied now?

Also See the walkthrough on the main page: http://armageddon.org/intro/walkthrough.php

Perhaps as UX "walkthrough" isn't as self-intuitive as "New Player Guide"?

sit at <table/bench/etc>

It took me awhile to figure out to use 'sit with <target>' in busy places wilth multiple seating options. Saves you a lot of grief in the long run!

Also a lot of the 'neat little things thread' has weird useful stuff, like 'key .'

[Saellyn]

Rest while mounted will dismount you and rest your mount.

[Aruven]

Sniff command.

Sip command.

Taste command.

You want these things and you want to use them.

[Kol]

Taste command.

You want these things and you want to use them.

I love the taste command. I wish I'd known about it when I first started playing. I never tasted any of the sandwiches I ate.

[Saellyn]

Fuck you and your sandwiches too.

More common syntax:

Look <person's> item
For instanc

Look amos's shirt

[Kol]

Drop too.

Drop sword (clattering to the floor) Will show the emote Amos drops his sword, calttering to the floor

Drop sword chipped and gore-encrusted (no brackets) will arrange the item as you drop it (See HELP ARRANGE) so it will show to the room as

A weapons training room exits: N E S W
Blood dust, sweat, tears, teeth and runners litter the floor of this training pit.

A sand filled dummy is here
A sword is here, chipped and gore-encrusted.

You can even mix it up and
Drop sword chipped and gore-encrusted (allowing it to fall with a heavy thump) Which will both emote and arrange in the same command.

[MeTekillot]

You'll want to put a ~ in there.

Drop sword ~ lies here, chipped and gore-encrusted.

I mean, it's not necessary, but I always found the "is here" clumsy.

Also, 'help newbie' gives direction to a lot of commonly used syntax.

Be cool to have one of these for ARM commands:
