creatures
creatures <room|creature>The living creatures in a room, as an iterable.
Given a room it lists that room's occupants; given a creature it lists the occupants of the room that creature is in (including the creature itself).
Arguments
<room|creature>— a room to inspect directly, or a creature whose current room is inspected. Only living creatures are included; the dead are skipped.
Returns
An iterable whose elements are creatures. Consume it with
each, count, first,
select, or another iterable consumer. An empty or
unresolved argument yields null.
Examples
after command (say) {
do "say There are [count [creatures $self]] of us here."
}
[creatures $self] lists the living creatures in the owner's room. In
the debug world that room holds three creatures, so [count ...]
evaluates to 3 and the mob says "There are 3 of us here."
after command (wave) {
each [creatures $self] { <bystander>
do "smile $bystander"
}
}
The iterable drives each: the mob smiles at every living
creature present, one per pass. The block parameter <bystander> is
declared inside the braces, right after {.
after command (say) {
each [select [creatures $self] { <c> [ismob $c] }] { <m>
do "say I see a mobile."
}
}
select filters the iterable down to just the mobiles
before each runs.
