Interiors

Here’s a quick description of how to make things that can be entered:

@create Car
@desc Car=A shiny red car.
@idesc car=You are sitting inside a luxurious sportscar.
@set Car=enter_ok
@oxleave car=climbs out of the car. { The ‘ox’ messages are shown to
@oxenter car=climbs into the car. { those OUTSIDE the object.
@oenter car=joins you inside the car. { The ‘o’ messages are shown to
@oleave car=gets out of the car. { those INSIDE the object
@enter car=You get into the car. { The plain messages are shown to
@leave car=You get out of the car. { the one entering or leaving

Communication across interiors

Now, if you want people inside to be able to hear and communicate with the outside, you also need to do the following.

@set car=audible (lets people outside hear what’s being said in the car.
@listen car=* (lets people inside hear what’s being said outside.
@prefix car=From inside the car,
@inprefix car=From outside,
@filter car=* has arrived.,* has left.,joins you inside the car., gets out of the car.
@infilter car=* has arrived.,* has left.,* climbs out of the car., * climbs into the car.

(The filters will keep people on the outside from seeing the ‘o’ messages and people on the inside from seeing the ‘ox’ messages which is a good thing.)
