#28763, "Obs xp"


          

Something I've wondered for a long while now.

Let's say there is something in many rooms. Like, if you type "look lights" or "look statue" and it's in five rooms in the same area. The desc is identical, it's the same thing in each room, a repeating hidden thing to look at or something like that.

Do you get obs xp for views 2-5 or just for view 1? Is there any utility to looking at it in each room? (Assuming you've already looked at all the rooms before and don't think or worry that something's changed in the area of course.)

Thanks.

If they really are the same object, then it wouldn't count. If they are different objects then they would. The only person who would know for certain if they are the same/different is the area writer.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

The benches in the Xenodochium in HTOS. You can "l benches" and get the same description in several rooms. Result of looking at them?

And let me know if that helps or not. I feel like it should make even more sense to you, seeing as how you have had heroimms. Some things are objects, and some things are just extra keywords, but it's impossible to tell the difference if you aren't the area writer/reading the file.

From what I gather, if there's an identical "thing" in five different rooms then probably it's not a real "item". So you're not getting any obs. xp for it anyway regardless.
