tell_object^#^
SUBTOPIC-efun^#^
EFUN tell_object()
SYNOPSIS
void tell_object(object ob, string str)
DESCRIPTION
Send a message `str' to object `ob'. If it is an interactive
object (a player), then the message will go to him, other-
wise it will go to the local function "catch_tell()".
SEE ALSO
write(), shout(), say().
^#^
tell_room^#^
SUBTOPIC-efun^#^
EFUN tell_room()
SYNOPSIS
void tell_room(mixed ob, string str);
DESCRIPTION
Send a message `str' to object all objects in the room `ob'.
`ob' can also be the filename of the room (string).
SEE ALSO
write(), shout(), say(), tell_object().
^#^
this_object^#^
SUBTOPIC-efun^#^
EFUN this_object()
SYNOPSIS
object this_object()
DESCRIPTION
Return the object pointer of this object. This function is
useful when an object wants to call functions that are not
in the same source file but are in the same object (via
inheritance).
SEE ALSO
this_player(), previous_object().
^#^
this_player^#^
SUBTOPIC-efun^#^
EFUN this_player()
SYNOPSIS
object this_player(int flag);
DESCRIPTION
Return the object representing the player that caused the
calling function to be called. Note that this_player() may
return a different value than this_object() even when called
from within a player object. If this_player is called as
this_player(1) then the returned value will be the interac-
tive that caused the calling function to be called.
this_player(1) may return a different value than
this_player(). For example, when command() is used by an
admin to force a player to perform some command.
Note: this_player(1) is redundant in amylaar In the amylaar
driver it is replaced by the efun this_interactive().
SEE ALSO
this_object(), previous_object().
^#^
throw^#^
SUBTOPIC-efun^#^
EFUN throw
SYNOPSIS
void throw(mixed);
DESCRIPTION
The throw() efun may be used to force an error to occur in
an object. When used in conjunction, throw() and catch()
allow the programmer to choose what error message is
displayed when a runtime error occurs. When throw() is
used, it should be used in conjunction with the catch(3)
efun. Here is a typical usage:
string err;
int rc;
err = catch(rc = ob->move(dest));
if (err) {
throw("move.c: ob->move(dest): " + err + "0);
return;
}

SUBTOPIC-efun32^#^
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

^#^
test_bit^#^
SUBTOPIC-efun32^#^
SYNOPSIS
int test_bit(string str, int n)
DESCRIPTION
Return 0 or 1 of bit n was set in string str.
Each character contains 6 bits. So you can store a value
between 0 and 63 in one character (2^6=64). Starting character
is the blank " " which has the value 0. The first character in
the string is the one with the lowest bits (0-5).
EXAMPLES
test_bit("_",5);
Returns 1 because "_" stands for the number 63 and therefore
the 6th bit is set.
test_bit(" ",3);
Returns 0 because " " stands for 0 and no bit is set.
SEE ALSO
set_bit(E), clear_bit(E)
^#^
this_interactive^#^
SUBTOPIC-efun32^#^
SYNOPSIS

are.

^#^
trace^#^
SUBTOPIC-efun32^#^
SYNOPSIS
int trace(int traceflags)
DESCRIPTION
Sets the trace flags and returns the old trace flags. When
tracing is on, a lot of information is printed during
execution and too much output can crash your connection or
even the whole driver.
The trace bits are:
1 Trace all function calls to lfuns.
2 Trace all calls to call_other
4 Trace all function returns.
8 Print argunents at function calls and return values.
16 Print all executed stack machine instructions (Avoid this
flag, it produces massive output!).
32 Enable trace in heart beat functions (Avoid this flag, it
constantly produces a lot of output!).
64 Trace calls to apply (Applies are driver internal
call_others).
128 Show object name in tracing (Avoid this flag when you know
what you are tracing!).
EXAMPLE
object obj;
string prefix;
obj=find_player("deepthought");
prefix=file_name(obj);
prefix=prefix[1..strlen(prefix)-1]; /* cut off the leading "/" */
traceprefix(prefix);
trace(1|2|4|8);
...
trace(0);
SEE ALSO
traceprefix(E)
^#^
traceprefix^#^
SUBTOPIC-efun32^#^
SYNOPSIS
string traceprefix(string prefix)
string traceprefix(int dummy)
DESCRIPTION
If called with a string, only objects matching this prefix will
be traced. The string must not contain a leading "/" because
the object names are stored internally without it. If called
with a number, the traceprefix will be ignored and all objects
will be traced. Returns the last traceprefix or 0 if there
wasn't any.
EXAMPLE
object obj;
string prefix;
obj = find_player("deepthought");
prefix = file_name(obj);
prefix = prefix[1..strlen(prefix)-1]; /* cut off the leading "/" */
traceprefix(prefix);
trace(1|2|4|8);
...
trace(0);
SEE ALSO
trace(E)
^#^
transfer^#^
SUBTOPIC-efun32^#^
SYNOPSIS
int transfer(object item, object dest)
DESCRIPTION
This efun is for backward compatibility only. It is only
available in compat mode.
Move the object "item" to the object "dest". All kinds of
tests are done, and a number is returned specifying the
result:
0: Success.
1: To heavy for destination.
2: Can't be dropped.
3: Can't take it out of it's container.
4: The object can't be inserted into bags etc.
5: The destination doesn't allow insertions of objects.
6: The object can't be picked up.
If an object is transfered to a newly created object, make
sure that the new object first is transfered to it's
destination.

transpose_array^#^
SUBTOPIC-efun32^#^
SYNOPSIS
mixed *transpose_array (mixed *arr);
DESCRIPTION
transpose_array ( ({ ({1,2,3}), ({a,b,c}) }) )
== ({ ({1,a}), ({2,b)}, ({3,c}) })
transpose_array() applied to an alist results in an array of
({ key, data }) pairs, useful if you want to use sort_array()
or filter_array() on the alist.
EXAMPLE
sort_array(transpose_array( ({ m_indices(map), m_values(map) }) ),
lambda( ({ 'a, 'b }),
({ #'<, ({ #'[, 'a, 0 }),
({ #'[, 'b, 0}) }) )
The given mapping 'map' is returned as an array of
({ key, data }) pairs, sorted by the keys.

^#^
to_object^#^
SUBTOPIC-efun321^#^
SYNOPSIS
object to_object(string arg)
object to_object(closure arg)
object to_object(object arg)
DESCRIPTION
The argument is converted into an object, if possible.
For strings, the object with a matching file_name() is
returned, or 0 if there is none, as find_object() does.
For (bound!) closures, the object holding the closure is
returned.
Objects and the number 0 return themselves.

tarx^#^
SUBTOPIC-creator^#^
-=[ Help ]=-
NAME
Tarx
Description
Tarx is an object, /secure/tarx that is cloned. It can be
used to extract tape archive files (file.tar) into the wizard's
directory. It is useful to extract wizard areas that you have
coded elsewhere and have ftp'ed onto the mud. That is, if the
administration has set up an ftp daemon for wizard use.
USAGE
clone /secure/tarx
tarx <tar_file>
NOTES
Due to object evaluation limits, it is slow. It uses call_out()
to overcome this intensive program problem. However,
this restricts file read/write access to 'open',
and wizard home directories.
Existing files are NOT overwritten.
All tarx'ed files are logged.
Remember, this tarx is crude. It should only contain (ustar) archived
text files.
*** ALSO FTP tar files in BINARY mode ***

SUBTOPIC-weapons^#^
-=[ Weapon Proficiencies ]=-
A proficiency in a weapon enables a player to use a weapon more
effectively. If you do not have a proficiency in a weapon, and are
wielding it, you do so at a penalty.
Penalties for wielding non-proficient weapons are low for fighters,
and larger for thieves, paladins, and rangers, larger still for
clerics, and higher still for mages.
The more you train in a weapon, the better you become in using it
in combat. Fighters gain more chances to train in weapons as they
increase in levels. The number of chances a player gains depends on
his class. Rangers, Thieves, and Paladins gain the next highest
amount per level, followed by clerics and mages.
To become more proficient in a weapon, simply train in it at the
place where you train your said skills.
