Thanks to all of you who helped me with my socials problem....
I want to start getting more into the workings of the CircleMUD, so, as I
am sure I will be coming up with even more silly questions in the future,
please do not get fed up with me. :)
Here, anyway is what I came up with as far as socials are concerned. If
any other bottom-level newbies out there find this info useful, I am glad.
Format
<social name> <hidden?>* <min. position of victim>*
<as player himself sees action (w/o victim)>
<as witnesses see action (w/o victim)>
<as player sees action (w/ victim)>
<as witnesses see action (w/ victim)>
<as victim sees action>
<message seen by player when intended victim is not present>
<as player sees action if victim given is the player him/herself>
<as witnesses see action if victim given is the player him/herself>
*These two positions are to be entered in numerical code form. The
numbers and their meanings are as follows:
<hidden?> (Used to determine the visibility of the action should the
player using the social be invisible to others. This of course depends on
the surrounding characters ability to see the invisible.)
0 - The action will be visible, but not the name of the player
doing it. Instead, the word
"someone is used. Ex.: "Someone gooses you."
1 - The action will not be visible at all.
<min. position of victim> (Used to determine the position of lowest
alertness at which a player has to be for the social to affect them as a
victim. Therefore, players of this number or higher can be affected.)
0 - dead
1 - mortally wounded
2 - incapacitated
3 - stunned
4 - sleeping
5 - resting
6 - sitting
7 - fighting
8 - standing
Name Replacement Codes:
The following are used to bring about the appearance of names, pronouns
and possessives in the needed places:
$e and $E - 3rd person subject pronouns
$e = 3rd person subject pronoun for player using social
$E = 3rd person subject pronoun for victim
$m and $M - 3rd person predicate pronouns
$m = 3rd person predicate pronoun for player using social
$M = 3rd person predicate pronoun for victim
$n and $N - 3rd person character names
$n = 3rd person character name for player using social
$N = 3rd person character name for victim
$s and $S - 3rd person possessive pronouns
$s = 3rd person possessive pronoun for player using social
$S = 3rd person possessive pronoun for victim
Lastly, a # is used to mark unused lines within a social, or to mark the
end if not every format line is used.
Examples:
comb 0 0
You comb your hair into a flock-of-seagulls do.
$n combs $s hair into a flock-of-seagulls do.
You comb $Ns hairboy is $S hair tangled!
$n combs $Ns hairseems $E cant do it $Mself.
$n combs your hair$e thinks $mself a beautician.
That person is not here.
You comb your hair.
$n combs $s hair.
Cackle 0 0
You cackle wickedly.
$n cackles wickedly.
#
Cuddle 1 5
Who do you want to cuddle?
#
You cuddle $M.
$n cuddles $N.
$n cuddles you.
That person isnt here.
Cuddling yourself?
#
P.S. If anyone finds something wrong here, let me know, please....
