Special Command Reference

This returns the right colour code for a given colourname. Available are: red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow, white (use capitals for bold colours) and underline, blink, inverse, strike, black and random

User contributed notes: special color
A.J.Jessurun@tue.nl Mar 15th 2000, 13:25	Example: ! say "[color red]What are you doing?[color]" The [color] statement sets the color back to the default color. This is like using {x as a color code. (See help color)
aggreviate@fataldimensions.org May 24th 2002, 01:19	[color xxx] and {x for color xxx in other words, the color name used for mobprogs and mob themselves. they are interchangeable for all color names except gray/black. [color black] == {G for color gray/black.

Example:

proc greet {} {
    ! say you've entered [memory "[char id]-enter"] and left [memory "[char id]-leave"] times.
    remember "[char id]-enter"
}

proc leave {} {
    remember "[char id]-leave"
    ! wave [char]
}

proc boo {} {
    ! cower [char]
    forget "[char id]-leave"
    forget "[char id]-enter"
}

proc keys {} {
    ! scratch
    ! say [memorykeys]
}
