add_item adds descriptions you see when you look at something in the room. add_item(mixed str,string desc) add_item("twig","Yep, sure enough it's a twig"); you can also add_item(({"twig","branch"}),"Bits of a tree O.K.\n"); This will add multiple things with the same response. Notes: Plurals. Don't need to, the MUD will take twig/twigs even branch/branches See also: add_smell, add_sound, add_feel (same syntax as above except, smell xxx , listen xxx , touch xxx) also remove_item, modify_item
