@set

@set <object>=[!]<flag> [[!]<flag> ...]
@<pre-defined attribute> <object>=<value>
@set <object>=<attribute>:<value>
@set <object>/<attribute pattern>=[!]<attrflag> [[!]<attrflag> ...]

Sets flags on an object, sets its attributes, or sets attribute flags, one form for each. @set/quiet leaves out every “Set.” line, the QUIET flag’s own included; errors still show.

@set flags: the first form, setting and clearing flags
@set attributes: the second and third forms, and how they differ from &
@set attribute flags: the fourth form, flags on attributes matching a pattern
@set examples: attribute flags by pattern, and a value with commas

Setting flags

@set <object>=[!]<flag> [[!]<flag> ...]

The first form sets (or unsets) flag(s) on <object>. See flags.
Ex: @set me=VISUAL
Flags may be specified by full name (recommended) or by flag character.
Flags are set or reset in the order supplied.

Setting attributes

@<pre-defined attribute> <object>=<value>
@set <object>=<attribute>:<value>

The second form sets a pre-defined attribute on <object>
Ex: @fail Heavy Box=You can't pick that up.

The third form sets an arbitrary attribute with <value> on <object>. You can also do this with &<attribute> <object>=<value>
Ex: @set Test Object=random:This is a random attribute.
&random Test Object=This is a random attribute.
An important difference between these two forms is that @set will always evaluate the <value> before setting it on <object>, while the &<attribute> form will not evaluate when entered directly by a player in their client (and is usually what you want).

The third form keeps everything after the first colon as the value, commas included.

Setting attribute flags

@set <object>/<attribute pattern>=[!]<attrflag> [[!]<attrflag> ...]

The fourth form sets (or unsets) attribute flags on every attribute of <object>’s own that matches <attribute pattern> and that you can see. The pattern takes the wildcards * and ?; ** also matches inside attribute trees. A plain attribute name matches only that attribute. An attribute you may not change is reported and skipped, and the rest are still changed. See attribute flags and wildcards.

Examples

> @set me/CMD`*=no_inherit

Output: one ”- no_inherit set.” line for each attribute under CMD on you.

> @set Test Object=list:red,green,blue

Output: Test Object/LIST - Set. The value is “red,green,blue”.
