Syntax : [exit] [command]
Example : north door

Command	Description
dig	Syntax : [exit] dig [vnum] Example : north dig 4001 Will create a new room at [vnum] and make an exit going in that direction, leading to the newly create room. Another exit, leading in the opposite direction from the new room to the room currently being edited will also be created. Example : Standing in room 4000, we type 'north dig 4001', this will result in room 4001 being created if it wasn't already, and an exit going north from room 4000 to room 4001 being created. On top of this, another exit, going south from room 4001 and ending in room 4000 will also be created (thus making it a two-way passage).
link	Syntax : [exit] link [vnum] Example : north link 4001 This command works exactly like the dig command above, with one difference. It does not create the target room if it is not already there, instead it gives an error message. It is wiser to use this command over dig, since you will not accidently create a room you didn't want. Example : Standing in room 4000, we type 'north link 4001', this will result in an exit going north from room 4000 to room 4001 being created. On top of this, another exit, going south from room 4001 and ending in room 4000 will also be created (thus making it a two-way passage).
room	Syntax : [exit] room [vnum] Example : north room 4001 This command will create a one way exit leading from the room being edited, to the room with the given vnum. No exit leading the opposite direction will be created. This is mostly used for mazes, and should be used with caution anywhere else. Example : Standing in room 4000, we type 'north room 4001', this will result in an exit going north from room 4000 to room 4001 being created. Nothing else will happen.

Such exits can have several flags attached to them, like a door flag, and should there be a door flag, then adding flags like closed and locked makes sense.

On Keywords

The keywords is the string that the room program will trigger on, there is one reserved keyword called '>enter<' which is used when a player enters the room. If you just want your program to trigger on one specific keyword, which must be said alone, then just use that keyword without any special tags (this makes sure noone accidently triggers your roomprogram while talking to people in the room). On the other hand, if you wish the roomprogram to trigger if certain words are used in a sentence, or just one or more of a list of words, then you can use a series of tags to create this effect. Here are a few examples to make things easier to understand.

| hello*hi
This will make the roomprogram trigger on ANY sentence that contains either hello or hi (or even both). notice the '|' in front of the words, this is what makes sure that only one of the keywords is needed to trigger the program.

&hello*jobo
This will make the roomprogram trigger on ANY sentence that contains both hello and jobo. The '& is the special tag that makes the program require all the keywords listed.

The '*' is the wildcard, which means anything can be typed between the words, allowing the roomprogram to trigger on many different sentences.

Teleport Programs

Syntax : teleport [keyword] [flag] [value]
Syntax : teleport [keyword] [create|delete]

flags : output, choutput, target

output : This is the message given to everyone else in the room
choutput : This is the message given to the player that triggers the teleport
target : This is the vnum of the room which the player is teleport to

Here's an example on creating a new teleport trigger in a room

OLC> teleport hell create
OLC> teleport hell output $n vanishes in a burning inferno
OLC> teleport hell choutput You are engulfed by hellfire and transported elsewhere
OLC> teleport hell target 4001

Text Programs

Syntax : texttrig [keyword] output +desc
Syntax : texttrig [keyword] [create|delete|clear]

This is the only program that can use the same keyword as an already existing program, thus allowing it to be used as an add-on to other programs. Just create it, and add the output needed.

Example

OLC> texttrig hello create
OLC> texttrig hello output The crowd greets you, and
OLC> texttrig hello output a few people come up and shake your hand.

Portal Programs

Syntax : portal [keyword] [flag] [value]
Syntax : portal [keyword] [create|delete]

flags : output, choutput, target

output : This is the message given to everyone else in the room
choutput : This is the message given to the player that triggers the portal
target : This is the vnum of the room which the portal leads to

Here's an example on creating a new portal trigger in a room

OLC> portal void create
OLC> portal void output A shimmering portal appears in front of $n
OLC> portal void choutput A shimmering portal appears in front of you.
OLC> portal void target 2

Action Programs

Syntax : action [keyword] [flag] [value]
Syntax : action [keyword] [create|delete]

flags : action and mob

action : This is the action the mob will do.
mob : This is the vnum of the mob.

Here's an example on creating an action trigger in a room

OLC> action hello create
OLC> action hello action say Howdy!
OLC> action hello mob 6001

NOTE It is possible to get hold of the players name, and using it in the action. If you add '%s' to the action string, then it will be replaced with the players name. I doubt it will work if you use more than one %s, so don't.

Spell Programs

Syntax : spell [keyword] [flag] [value]
Syntax : spell [keyword] [create|delete]

flags : type

type : This is the name of the spell being cast.

Here's an example on creating an action trigger in a room

OLC> spell bless create
OLC> spell bless type darkblessing

The Free Program Command

Syntax: ed add [keyword]
Syntax: ed edit [keyword]
Syntax: ed delete [keyword]
Syntax: ed format [keyword]

Syntax: ed type [keyword] [type of trigger]
Syntax: ed action [keyword] [type of action]
Syntax: ed vnum [keyword] [vnum used for room/object/etc]
Syntax: ed buf1 [keyword] [message to player]
Syntax: ed buf2 [keyword] [message to room]

If no type is set, the extra description (ed) will just act as a normal extra description (usually used for signs, plaques, etc). But if one of the following types are set, players can use those commands to activate the action.

Types : pull, press, push, touch, none
Actions : teleport, object, spell, elevator, none

The teleport action will simple teleport the player, and the object action will create an object of type 'vnum' and give it to the player.

An example of creating a lever that can be pulled to transport a player to room 4001 would be something like this (in redit mode)

OLC> ed add 'a rusty lever' (then fill out the description of the lever)
OLC> ed type lever pull
OLC> ed action lever teleport
OLC> ed vnum lever 4001
OLC> ed buf1 lever A trapdoor opens beneath your feet, and you drop into it
OLC> ed buf2 lever A trapdoor opens beneath $n's feet, and $e drops into it
