,, EMOTE, EMOTION
This command is used to show
emotions or actions. For
example, if Bilbo types:
> emote lets heavy tears roll down his cheek and fall down onto the floor.
The room would see:
Bilbo lets heavy tears roll down his cheek and fall down onto the floor.
You can use ,
(comma) as an abbreviation for emote.
If the line to be emoted starts with an apostrophy ('
) there will
be no space between the name of the character and the line. For example:
> emote 's eyes grow wet with tears.
would produce:
Bilbo's eyes grow wet with tears.
Also, you can use a % to specify a creature in the room. For example:
> emote smiles warmly at %frodo.
would produce:
to the room: |
Bilbo smiles warmly at Frodo. |
to Frodo: |
Bilbo smiles warmly at you. |
If you write 's
after the name in a %
-construction, you get a possessive form of
the command. For example:
> emote looks at %gandalf's staff.
would produce:
to the room: |
Bilbo looks at Gandalf's staff. |
to Gandalf: |
Bilbo looks at your staff. |
There is a collection of canned emotes,
social
commands, if you don't
want to type your own. Abuse of emote to
show misleading information (such
as emote slashes your head and shatters it!
) can
lead to punishment.
