implants

implants <creature>

The objects implanted in a creature, as an iterable over its filled implant slots.

Implants are surgically installed items, distinct from worn equipment and carried inventory.

Arguments

• <creature> — the creature whose implants to list.

Returns

An iterable whose elements are the objects occupying the creature's filled implant slots. Empty slots yield nothing, so a creature with no implants produces an empty iterable. An unresolved argument yields null. Consume the iterable with each, count, first, select, or another iterable consumer.

Examples

after command (say) {
  do "say I have [count [implants $self]] implant(s)."
}

[implants $self] lists the owner's implant slots. The debug-world mob has none, so this compiles and runs with [count ...] evaluating to 0 — "I have 0 implant(s)." On an implanted creature each installed object would be yielded in turn.

after command (say) {
  each [implants $actor] { <imp>
    do "say $actor has [name $imp] installed."
  }
}

When the actor has implants, each names each one; otherwise the block never runs. The block parameter <imp> is declared inside the braces, right after {.
