Crossfire Server, Branch 1.12  R12190
Exit

Description

When the player applies an exit, he is transferred to a different location. (Monsters cannot use exits.) Depending on how it is set, the player applies the exit just by walking into it, or by pressing <a>pply when standing on the exit.

Attributes

Attribute Field Description
apply movement obj::move_on If set, the player will auto-apply the exit with these movement types. This must be set for the invisible exits for example. If unset, the player has to step onto the exit and press 'a' to get transferred.
block view FLAG_BLOCKSVIEW If an item is set to block view, players (and monsters) cannot see beyond it unless they cross it or manage to stand on top.
blocked movement obj::move_block If set, the object cannot be passed by players nor monsters.
destination X liv::hp The exit destinations define the (x, y)-coordinates where the exit leads to. If both are set to zero, the player will be transferred to the "default enter location" of the destined map. The latter can be set in the map- properties as "Enter X/Y". Though, please DO NOT use that. It turned out to be a source for numerous map-bugs.
destination Y liv::sp The exit destinations define the (x, y)-coordinates where the exit leads to. If both are set to zero, the player will be transferred to the "default enter location" of the destined map. The latter can be set in the map- properties as "Enter X/Y". Though, please DO NOT use that. It turned out to be a source for numerous map-bugs.
elevation obj::elevation The elevation (height above sea level) of this tile. It is used for weather calculations and should be in the range -32000..32000. The elevation of a tile must be set in the bottom-most game object; elevation values for non-bottom-most game objects are ignored by the Crossfire server.
exit message obj::msg If set, this message will be displayed to the player when he applies the exit. This is quite useful to throw in some "role-play feeling": "As you enter the dark cave you hear the sound of rustling dragonscales...". Well, my English is poor, but you get the point. =)
exit path obj::slaying The exit path defines the map that the player is transferred to. You can enter an absolute path, beginning with '/' (for example "/peterm/FireTemple/fire1"). It can also be a relative path, not beginning with '/' (On the map "/peterm/FireTemple/Fire2" for example I could use the relative path "Fire1"). Use relative paths whenever possible! Note that upper/lower case must always be set correctly. However, please use lower case only. It is well possible to have an exit pointing to the same map that the exit is on. If slaying is not set in an exit, the player will see a message like "the exit is closed".
glow radius obj::glow_radius If <glow radius> is set to a value greater zero, the object appears lit up on dark maps. <glow radius> can be a value between 0 and 4, the higher, the more light does the object emit.
identified FLAG_IDENTIFIED If an item is identified, the player has full knowledge about it.
image obj::face The image-name defines what image is displayed for this object in-game.
invisible obj::invisible Generally makes the object invisible. Depending on the object-type, some can be made visible by the show_invisible spell. If in doubt, test it. Putting an invisible object under the floor always prevents it from being shown.
material obj::material This bitmask-value informs the player of which material(s) the object consists. Material does also affect how likely the object can be destroyed by hazardous spell-effects.
name obj::name This is the name of the object, displayed to the player.
non-pickable FLAG_NO_PICK If set, the object cannot be picked up (Neither by players nor monsters).
number obj::nrof This value determines the number of objects in one stack (for example: 100 gold coins => "number = 100"). You should set this at least to one, for any pickable object - otherwise it won't be mergeable into a stack.
plural name obj::name_pl This is the plural name of the object. A plural name must be set for all items that can be picked up and collected by the player.
smooth level obj::smoothlevel If <smooth level> is set to a value greater zero, the object will be drawn partially over adjacent squares having a lower <smooth level> value. The value must be between 0 and 255 (inclusive); 0 means "never overlap adjacent squares".
title obj::title This is the object's title. Once an object is identified the title is attached to the name. Typical titles are "of Mostrai", "of xray vision" etc.
unique destination FLAG_UNIQUE This flag defines the destined map as "personal unique map". If set, there will be a separate version of that map for every player out there. This feature is used for the permanent apartments (in Scorn/Nuernberg/Caterham...). It should not be used for anything else than apartments, since Crossfire is a *multi*player game. In such a permanent apartment don't forget to set the unique-flag for all floor tiles too (see floors). An exit pointing outside of a personal unique map must have the "unique destination"-flag unset.
unpaid FLAG_UNPAID An <unpaid> item cannot be used unless a player carried it over a shop mat, paying the demanded price. Setting this flag makes sense only for pickable items inside shops.
value obj::value Adds a certain value to the object: It will be worth that many times the default value from it's archetype (E.g. "value = 3" means three times worth the default value). Value for buying/selling will be further modified by various factors. Hence, testing values in-game is usually inevitable.
weight obj::weight This value defines the object's weight in grams (1000g is 1kg). Objects with zero weight are not pickable for players. Still, set the "non-pickable"-flag for explicitly non-pickable objects (hey, this is opensource.. you never know ;) ).
