Looking into all adjoining rooms
|
I'm attempting to make an alias that will look in all directions listed as exits adjoining, much like the "scan" command found on some MUDs.
I already have an exits variable which stores every room exit found as a seperate value:
Exits: north, east, and southwest.
@exits = north|east|southwest
What I cannot figure out, is how to make an alias that will take each direction listed in the variable, and send them seperately to the MUD with the look command prefixed. As in,
scan
look north
look east
look southwest
I expect it's a simple case of finding the right function or variable do this, which I just haven't spotted in the help files.

You are looking for the #FORALL command.
#ALIAS scan {#FORALL @exits {look %i}}

I found that #FORALL and other loops can usually scroll through their code faster than I can keep up with any generated output. An alternative to #FORALL, if you want to slow down the loop action is to use an alarm:
#alarm "tScan" *@ScanInterval {#if (%numitems(@exits)) {look %item(@exits,1);#delnitem Exits 1} {#noop nothing to look at;#T- tScan}}

 Have triggers to capture the important stuff and summarize it after for example the scan!
