Title: Target w/ your ldesc
Post by: Majikal on October 24, 2006, 12:14:12 PM
Thought it might be neat to add targeting capabilities into changing your ldesc, there are times where this would make entering a room or something like that would make the scene much more fluid. Such as nobles with pc bodyguards or whatever.

Code Select

>change ldesc is here, standing protectively next to ~fancypants
rooms sees:
The tall muscular dude is here, standing protectively next to lord fancypants

Lord fancypants sees: The tall muscular dude is here, standing protectively next to you.


Normal ldesc things would apply such as changing positions or actions nullify it. Only thing that might be tricky is making it where if the target leaves to the room then it nullifies the altered ldesc as well.

Thoughts? I could think of some fun ways that this could be used as well where sometimes people walking in have to wait for an emote, or a say to understand what is taking place as they enter.

like it, but might have the same issues incorporating targeted emotes into movement emotes has, and you mentioned: targets not being in the same place.

I think ldesc length might also be a problem, but I definitely like the idea.

One time target, permanent change.

So you target Fancypants, and as long as he is in that room with you, you will have your ldesc, but, if  he leaves, you will go back to standing there until he comes back.

I like it. Add the same to item ldesc and it makes it perfect.

Wished for that for years.

Would take a script attached to it though, to reset to default if the target left.
PS
Hymwen's sig scares me.

Very good idea. I've wished many many times that I could do this. Both with my ldesc and with drop descs.
