Misc Values

Base:Misc

gender

What sex, if any? Default options are male, female, and neuter. New genders can be added to the list of accepted genders by updating TextIF:Gender. To have these reflect on the drop down menu, you will also need to update DTD:DTD.

volition

Does this object require consent to interact with? This option is usually selected for living things like Chatters and NPCs.

weapon

Does this object perform as a weapon on this server? Selecting this option makes the object wieldable/unwieldable (wield knife/unwield knife) so players will see "Sally is wielding a butter knife" as opposed to "Sally is holding a butter knife" when looking at her. Further combat mechanics are handled by the combat system you select. It is worth noting that only one object can be wielded at a time.

default_stance

When dropped, what stance should it use? Options are none, crouching, floating, hanging, kneeling, lying, sitting, standing. When none is selected, stance defaults to lying. This list of stances currently cannot be modified.

combinable

Is this object combinable with like items? This option must be selected for the by_weight option to work properly.

discrete

If it is combinable, is it discrete like coins? Obsolete. Multiple like objects are automatically grouped by the parser whether or not combinable or discrete is selected.

by_weight

If it is combinable, is it by weight like water or flour? When this option is selected, the output displays the weight of the objects rather than just the quantity (i.e. an ounce of flour vs. a handfuls of flour). The weight is calculated based on bulk settings so it is important to be as accurate as possible. Also, these types of objects cannot simply be taken or placed just anywhere but must be placed in a container with the tight flag (see below). This functionality has been known to be buggy and not always show sensible outputs so use with caution.

tight

Is the container tight enough to hold water? Objects with the by_weight flag set can only be placed or picked up by objects with the tight flag.

scriptrunner

Does this object have any uato scripts in it? Scriptrunner objects add more load to the server by constantly "watching" for activity. It only makes sense to select this option for objects that will have witness scripts.

integration

What property, if any, determines what room this object is an integral part of?

Base:Edible

Is this object edible? Use this flag to turn an object into food. The amount of bites an object has depends on the bulk settings. A single bite (‘eat' command) will consume about 150 grams while the ‘gobble' command will consume the entire amount. The below tutorial shows how scents and tastes can be added for extra flavor.

Base:Potable

Is this object drinkable? Use this flag to turn an object into a drink. The amount of drinks an object has depends on the bulk settings. A single drink (‘drink' command) will consume the entire amount (known bug). The below tutorial shows how scents and tastes can be added for extra flavor.

Base:DrinkMessageFirst

Obsolete.

Base:DrinkMessageThird

Obsolete.

Base:Transparency

For clothing and other worn items, does it reveal items under it on the same location? I.E. rings, belts, etc. All clothing has a list of body parts that they cover. If you wear two garments that cover the exact same body parts, the first garment will not be visible unless the second garment has the transparency flag set.

Base:Unsafe

Is this a place that characters may not return to when they log in? If yes, they get sent to the character's home room.

Base:Safe

Is this a place that you must return to when logging in? Used for home rooms and jail cells.

Base:ClothesExpected

Is this object to be described as nude if it is not wearing any clothing?

Base:DieMessageFirst

This can be used to add an emit that will show to the actor when an object is slain, either with the +slay command or some other means. For example, this can be used to add a taste to taste to food and drinks when consumed.

Base:DieMessageThird

This can be used to add an emit that will show to the entire room, actor included. For example, when a monster is slain, this can be used to display a creative death emote.
