2.4 Objects
You will frequently need or want to interact with items and with denizens in Aetolia. You can interact with an object by name like 'sword', or by the ID number from commands that give it (such as INFO HERE) like 'sword123' or '123' for short. Providing no ID just means that you will interact with the first available item. You can also pick a specific item without an ID using the following example. Let us say you want the third sword in a room. You can use 'get sword.3' to grab the third sword. You can also get the last sword using 'get sword.last'. Common commands dealing with objects: INFO HERE or IH --------------- This command will show you a list of what items are in the room, along with their ID number. LOOK/EXAMINE <thing> LOOK <person> <piece of clothing> --------------------------------- This will show you a description of whatever thing you name. GET [amount] <thing> GET [amount] <thing> FROM <container> ------------------------------------- This will pick things up from off the ground. You cannot pick up most living things. In order to get an item that is in another item, such as a backpack, you would type GET [amount] <thing> FROM <container>. If you wish to get one of an item, omit the [amount]. You cannot pick up more than 50 items at a time. DROP [amount] <thing> --------------------- Drop anything you are holding onto the ground. If you wish to only drop one of something, you may omit [amount]. PROBE <thing> or P <thing> -------------------------- This command will show you a variety of information about an item or mobile, along with its description. LOOK IN <thing> --------------- To see what an item is holding, you must LOOK IN <thing>. GIVE [amount] <thing> TO <whomever> ----------------------------------- Give an item or items to someone (player or mobile). To give one item, omit the [amount]. PUT [amount] <thing> IN <container> ----------------------------------- This allows you to put items inside another item that is capable of holding items, such as a backpack. To put one item, omit the [amount]. PLACE <thing> ON <surface> -------------------------- This allows you to place an item upon another item which can hold it, such as a table, shelf, or other piece of furniture. THROW <thing> ------------- This is a little more complicated. See: HELP THROWING. WIELD <thing> WIELD LEFT/RIGHT <thing> UNWIELD <thing> UNWIELD LEFT/RIGHT ------------------------ These commands allow you to wield an item and unwield an item. TOUCH <object> PUSH <object> PULL <object> TURN <object> TWIST <object> USE <object> -------------- Some items can be interacted with using these commands, which may give hints to puzzles or quests, or simply enable an effect of the item.
