positioning

2009-01-18 16:57 UTC · Daiverd (#2)

ideas for positioning a player for the purpose of descriptions

a computer readable value that will have bits set or cleared based on what the player is doing and the objects these are associated with

possible code could be standing, sitting, lying, on, at, behind, under, in front

daiverd is standing behind a glass case on a stool

maybe trash the computer readable thing and just have a list of status messages

then things like furniture can check for specific ones like, sitting

go behind the glass case could first check if there's a standing code then add a descriptor like, {standing},{behind, glass case}{on, stool}
