Idea for new Variables
« on: April 11, 2009, 03:31:41 pm »
This one for the code monkeys (Hi Thotter)


If it doesn't exist, I want to suggest a %room.guestlist% variable that returns a string containing every guest member's name.  This will be useful for making if checks in playerhouse scripts that you want to be restrict to guest members.  Returns an empty string if not a crash proof room.

While you're at it how about a %room.house% that returns 1 if it is a crash-proof room and 0 if not (useful for insanity checks) and %room.owner% that returns the name of the owner (also returns an empty string if not crash proof room.)

If these already exist, please let me know ;)

Sent this to our coding listserv in case coders don't read forums as much as email.  ;D

Thotter did read this but he temporarily refused to code it on the grounds that I called him a code monkey :P


By the way, there is a variable for searching a room ID if you have the room vnum right?  Otherwise this variable I'm suggesting will be kinda useless.  I assumed there was, and Thotter said there should be one, but I can't find a documentation on it, nor can Thotter remember what the variable is.
