SOME NEW STUFF (and one boring skill change)

Written by: Ivoln, the Earthen Lord

Addressed to: Everyone


Devotion Change
- Perform Purity will be slightly faster if you have the symbol of Haern
painted on your shield while possessing the Incarnation Spirituality
ability. It will also do slightly less damage.


NOW THE NEW STUFF!
You may now add emotes onto the DROP, GET/TAKE, PUT and GIVE commands.

To use this, simply use the command as you normally would:
DROP PANTS

then add "emote" and your emote to the end.

EMOTE DROPS HIS PANTS, HOW SHOCKING!.

and everyone would see "Desian drops his pants, how shocking!" and
desian's pants would now be in the room.

You can even use this as part of the emote system. For example, you
could do-

DROP PANTS EMOTE LOOKS AROUND SUSPICIOUSLY AS HE DECLARES TO $DARLIEA,
"LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!", BEFORE SUDDENLY DROPPING $ITEM!

In this case, Desian would see:

You have emoted: Desian looks around suspiciously as he declares to
Darliea, "Look what I can do!", before suddenly dropping a pair of black
trousers!

And Darliea would see:
Desian looks around suspiciously as he declares to you, "Look what I can
do!", before suddenly dropping a pair of black trousers!

And everyone else would see:

Desian looks around suspiciously as he declares to Darliea, "Look what I
can do!", before suddenly dropping a pair of black trousers!


Special words

General:
- $item: the item you are putting, dropping, giving or taking/getting.
- $amount: if you are getting/dropping/giving/putting more then one
item, this is how many you are getting - in words. Additionally, if this
is more then 1, $item will be the plural name of the item, rather then
its appearance (so "inks" instead of "5 green inks").

When putting an item INTO another item or taking from another item:
- $container: the container holding the item you are getting, or that
you are putting the item into.

When putting an item into a drawer:
- $drawer: the drawer you are putting the item into. You can still use
$container as well.

When giving an item:
- $target: the person or npc you are giving the item to. If it is a
player, you can use $target_his etc and it will automatically replace it
as appropriate.


Finally - you may include any of the "special words" used in the normal
emote system.
