Title: Question about moving from room to room
Post by: Eyeball on December 12, 2017, 05:25:33 PM
I'm still not clear on this. Let's say I type this:

>north (moving swiftly)

Do people in the room being left see:

<x> leaves north, moving swiftly.

Or do people in the room being entered see:

<x> has arrived from the south, moving swiftly.

Or do both?

Both.

People in the room you are exiting will see your movement speed as well, i.e.

X walks north, moving swiftly.

As Delirium said, they see both (and the command emote you included). 

However, there is a bit of a funny thing with the arrival message: it won't indicate the speed at which they arrived.  The departing echo does, but not the arriving echo.

So, if you have 'walk' set it looks like this:
<x> moves north, moving swiftly.
<x> has arrived from the south, moving swiftly.

If you have 'run' set it looks like this:
<x> runs north, moving swifty.
<x> has arrived from the south, moving swiftly.  (<--- notice it doesn't say: runs in from the south, but 'has arrived from the south'.)

If you have 'sneak' set it will look like this (if you are detected):
<x> stealthily moves norths, moving swiftly.
<x> has arrived from the south, moving swiftly. (<--- notice it doesn't say: sneaks in from the south, but 'has arrived from the south'.)

And just as a 'did you know' you can add command emotes to your flee:

> flee s (scampering away)

This will render like 'run' does.

Maybe I am just dense or maybe no one uses it but I never noticed that you could tack an emote onto flee.

Awesome.
