#4601, "Idea: New command to help RP"


          

What I'd like to see (and have seen on some other muds) is a command that alters your long description (the description seen when someone in the same room uses the look command).

POSITION

Syntax: position <text that describes what you do>.

It would always start with the name of the character.

An example would be johnny the tribunal standing on market square of galadon. he types 'position is standing here, gazing out over the city.' The rest of the people would then see:

Johnny is standing here, gazing out over the city.

The position string would be canceled whenever the player changed position (as in, from sitting to standing to sleeping) or walked in the case of standing.

Ralph the paladin could similarly walk into his shrine, use the sit command to emote out that he kneels down by some altar, then change his position so that says that he's kneeling before the altar with his eyes closed and mumbling prayers, or what have you.

It would also be useful if the current long description as set by the position command could be viewed in the score sheet or in a similar way (perhaps by typing position with no argument).

I'm frankly quite surprised it has not been implemented yet But I hope you will. Thank you for reading and an already (too?) great mud.
