Special Functions
These are functions which can be used inside mobprograms, but aren’t related to a special piece of the mud. They are defined in the file rom.tcl in the area-directory.
special Command Reference
color colourname
This returns the right colour code for a given colourname. Available are: red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow, white (use capitals for bold colours) and underline, blink, inverse, strike, black and random
Example:
! say “[color red]What are you doing?[color]”
The [color] statement sets the color back to the default color. This is like using {x as a color code. (See help color)
[color xxx] and {x for color xxx
in other words, the color name used for mobprogs and mob themselves.
they are interchangeable for all color names except gray/black.
[color black] == {G for color gray/black.
uses memory
