room
room <creature|object|room|int>The room an entity is in — or, given an integer, the room with that vnum.
For a creature it is the room they occupy; for an object, the room it lies in (or null if it is carried or contained rather than on the ground). A room argument returns itself, and an int argument resolves a room by its vnum.
Arguments
<creature|object|room|int>— one of:- a creature — returns the room they are standing in;
- an object — returns the room it rests in, or null if it is not directly in a room;
- a room — returned unchanged;
- an int — resolved as a room vnum (a run-time error if no such room exists).
Returns
A room, or null when an object is not lying in a room.
Examples
after command (say) {
do "say We are in [name [room $actor]]."
}
[room $actor] is the actor's current room; here that is Limbo, so the
mob says "We are in Limbo." Chaining name turns the room
into its display name.
Resolve a room directly from its vnum:
after command (say) {
do "say Room 1 is called [name [room 1]]."
}
[room 1] looks up the room with vnum 1 — Limbo — without needing any
entity to be standing in it.
