name
name <creature|object|room>The display name of an entity.
Works on a creature, an object, or a room; the result is the name as it would appear in game.
Arguments
<creature|object|room>— the entity to inspect.
Returns
A string — the entity's display name.
Examples
after command (say) {
do "say My name is [name $self], and I greet [name $actor]."
}
When the owner is the mob Puff and the actor is Puff as well,
[name $self] evaluates to Puff, so the mob says
"My name is Puff, and I greet Puff."
name also works on objects and rooms — including the room returned by
room:
after command (say) {
oload 1
do "say I am holding [name [first [inventory $self]]]."
do "say We are standing in [name [room $self]]."
}
After loading object vnum 1, the first carried object reports as "a jail strongbox", and the owner's room reports as "Limbo".
