Extra Look and Show Options

Post by Baeus » Thu Jun 05, 2014 7:24 am

I would love to be able to see the long description of gear that other people are wearing or even be able to show someone an object without actually handing it to them. What I had in mind is as follows:

look <target> - displays the long and short physical description of the target and visible equipment.
look <target><target item keyword> displays the long description of the keyword item you saw on the person.

show <target item><target> shows the short and long description as well as examine information to the target.

To actually appraise an item you should still probably have to hold it in your hands.

Or you could just extend the exam command on merchants to be able to do the same for PCs.

On LP and other muds, I've seen this:
l shirt on tiyari
or:
l at shirt on tiyari

Since "at" is not a requirement here when looking at things, l item person would be fine, I think, especially with how the diku-like command structure works.

(I still miss get daggers, get swords, or get 5 swords. So much easier, in my opinion, than get all.sword, or get sword (enter on it 5 times).
It's not just on FK, so this is a very generalized statement.

I absolutely support these ideas!
