hasdepower()

hasdepower()

hasdepower(<object>, <depower>) ldepowers(<object>)

hasdepower() returns 1 when <object> holds the RhostMUSH depower <depower>, and 0 when it does not. A name RhostMUSH does not have returns #-1 NO SUCH DEPOWER. ldepowers() lists the depowers <object> holds, separated by spaces.

A depower is a permission taken away here: PAGE is a Deny of player.page, BOOT a Deny of the Boot power. An object holds a depower when its own overrides, or its account’s, deny every permission that depower stands for. A RhostMUSH import sets those overrides, and @permission/deny sets them by hand. A depower SharpMUSH does not import, such as MASTER, is never held. See roles for the permissions.

PAGE

hasdepower() and ldepowers() come from RhostMUSH, where a depower is a level. Here an object holds a depower or does not, and the level is the reach of its Deny (see @permission reach).
