Title: Watch command idea
Post by: Hexxaex on September 25, 2005, 03:58:54 PM
If you're watching a direction, I think it would be a good idea to be able to see what comes into view as you're moving towards the direction you're watching.

>watch north
You begin watching the north exit.

>n
An armored bahamet has come into view to the north.
A room [NESW]
This room is boring.
It continues in all directions.

>l n
[Very far]
An enormous shelled creature tramples the grasses.
[Far]
Nothing.
[Near]
Nothing.

>think Good thing I was looking out for that.
You think:
    "Good thing I was looking out for that."


Thoughts?

That's actually not too bad an idea.

I like it, but you could just 'look north'.

I'm lazy?  Best response I could think of there.

So, I like it.

I like it, though it sounds like it would be a bitch to code in a way that wouldn't drain resources.

This must be a really good idea.  Nobody has started arguing!

I like it too.

I can't say that it is a bad idea, though, one that if it was put in, I'd probly never use, hard enough to keep track of things when your moving about outside, alone or in a group without that large amount of added spam.

While it's a decent idea, you can get almost the exact same functionality with the new non-delayed look command:

> n
> l n (but don't hit enter until you arrive in the next room)
