+help is available on the following functions. Please note that some functions may only be accessible to MUSH staff.

You say "apple, pear, and tomato"

> say andlist(Bill Ben)

comma

This function has no argument, and returns a comma. This is rarely useful, but occasionally comes in handy for dealing with switch evaluations.

> say isstaff(#1)

You say "1"

> say isstaff(*Joe Player)

You say "0"

mutterfn

mutter(<text string>)

This function returns a text string with random words dropped out. To preserve a substring, enclose it in angular braces <>. For example,

> say mutter(The cat sat on the mat.)

You say "... sat... the..."

You say "The cat ... on..."

orlist

stats

statmatch(<stat>)
statn(<text>)
[p]stat(<player>,<stat>)

statmatch() returns the attribute name where a stat may be located.

statn() returns the name of a stat from a substring, picking the first available stat that matches the substring - multiple matches are not returned.

[p]stat() returns the value of a player's [permanent] stat.

For example,

You say "Skills"

> say stat(#13,Drive)

You say "4"

> ex #13/SKILLS

SKILLS: Drive=4:5 Melee=2:2 <etc>
