Listing code

 

1. '@show': useful for getting an ``overview''
   • '@show <obj>' shows the defined verbs and properties on an object
   • '@show <obj>:<verb>' shows some information about a verb
   • etc...
2. '@dump <obj> will dump the code for an object including its verbs. This is useful for porting, but read the Newbie MOO Wiz FAQ for details, and don't forget to port the parents too (and be prepared to adjust YOUR parent objects).
3. @list
   • '@list <obj>:<verb>' will list a verb for a given object. On some MOOs, the abbreviation '@l ...' will work.
   • '@list <obj>:<verb> wo numbers' will list a verb for a given object without line numbers, useful for just porting a verb (Type in ``wo numbers'' just like that)
4. @display:is more fancy than @show. It allows you list various pieces of code attached to an object.
   • Syntax:

             @display <object>.[property]
                              ,[inherited_property]
                              :[verb]
                              ;[inherited_verb]

   • E.g. '@display <obj>:' or the alias '@d <obj>:' will display the verbs of an object. In the following example we list all the verbs of object #5 (alias $thing):

     >@d #5:
     generic thing (#5) [ readable fertile ]
       Owned by Mother (#2).
       Child of Root Class (#1).
         #5:"g*et t*ake"             Mother (#2)       rxd    this none none
         #5:"d*rop th*row"           Mother (#2)       rxd    this none none
         #5:moveto                   Mother (#2)       rxd    this none this
         #5:"take_failed_msg take_succeeded_msg otake_failed_msg 
             otake_succeeded_msg drop_failed_msg 
             drop_succeeded_msg odrop_failed_msg odrop_succeeded_msg"
                                     Mother (#2)       rxd    this none this
         #5:"gi*ve ha*nd"            Mother (#2)       rxd    this at/to any
         #5:examine_key              Mother (#2)       rxd    this none this
         #5:take_web                 Irradiate (#226)  rxd    this none this
         #5:give_web                 Irradiate (#226)  rxd    this none this
         #5:obvious_web_verbs        Irradiate (#226)  rxd    this none this
         #5:drop_web                 Irradiate (#226)  rxd    this none this
     -------------------------------- finished -----------------------------

   • '@display <$obj$>.' or the alias '@d <obj>.' will display the properties of and object and so forth.
   • If you are just interested in a single property or verb, type something like in the following examples. Note that the ``,'' in ``,aliases'' or ``,name'' means that the property is inherited from above (``aliases'' from #2) or a built-in property (``name'').

      >@d #5.aliases
      ,aliases                 Mother (#2)           r c    {"generic thing"}
      ----------------------------- finished ------------------------------
     
      >@d #5.name
      ,name                    Built in property            "generic thing"
      ----------------------------- finished ------------------------------

5. An other way for looking at code, is of course to load a verb or a propriety into the editor (especially if you can ship it to a client), but be careful not to destroy anything if you have the permission to do so !!
6. At TECFAMOO, you can use the following commands to ship listings into an editor window: @@dump, @@list and @@d*isplay. So instead of listing things in the buffer in which you talk you can get it in another Window. Use it, it is cool!
