What are different things I can do with items? other than locks (which I also want to know can you make multiple objects of the same thing) . like I'd like to have items that you can wear and if people look at you they see you're wearing it.

Also can one user talk to another person, and if so, what command allows them to do this? thank you!

Did you read my series of pages starting at:

http://www.gammon.com.au/mush/mush.htm

That describes talking to other people, either in the same room or elsewhere.

As for making objects, try the PennMUSH site:

It didnt have it, mostly I just wanna know if you can make it so someone is wearing an object so like if someone types "look masterwizard" they will see that the person is wearing an object

Also, can you put ansi color midway through a description, like if I wanted to write "The corridor is covered in blood except for on the back wall" and I wanted blood to be red but nothing else. could I do that or no?

As far as I remember, PennMUSH does not, out of the box, support automatically listing things you wear, for the simple reason that it doesn't have "lists of clothes" anyway.

The way most people would do it is to edit their description, so you you say "look <person>" the description might say:


You see Nick standing here. He is wearing a brown cloak.


Yes, you can change colours. I think it is the ANSI() function.

Here is another page of MUSH resources, you may find helpful:

This looks interesting:

http://www.black-knight.org/mudcore/

This is a core MUSH database which provides more functionality than the (almost) empty database that ships with it.

Yes, I know about the Ansi() command but if I try to do it in the middle of a description it doesnt work.

Thanks for everything else

First I did this:


@describe me = You see a [ansi(g, Person)] here


Then when I did "look me" it was still not coloured. After a bit of experimenting, this worked:


@set me = ansi
@set me = color


Then, the description showed up in colour.
