Flags

From dodWiki

The SMAUG codebase uses several types of flags to assign conditions and information to the various building blocks of the game.

Contents 1 Arena flags 2 Container flags 3 Exit flags 4 Mob flags 5 Object flags 6 Player flags 6.1 Attacker 6.2 Killer 6.3 Thief 6.4 Litterbug 6.5 Pardon 7 Room flags

Arena flags

Container flags

These are the bitvectors for V1 for containers.

Closeable	1
Pickproof	2
Closed	4
Locked	8

• Closeable means that you can open and close this object.
• Closed means that the object is currently closed. Always use this flag in conjunction with "closeable". Otherwise, you will never be able to open the container.
• Locked means that the object is currently locked. Always use this flag in conjunction with "closed" AND "closeable". If it's not closed, locking it doesn't do much good.
• Pickproof makes the container impregnable to the thief's pick lock skill. Always use this flag in conjunction with "locked" AND "closed" AND "closeable". If it's not locked, making it pickproof won't do a lot of good.

Useful bitvector combinations:

• 0 = Always open, cannot be closed
• 1 = Can open and close
• 5 = Closed, can open and close (4+1)
• 13 = Locked, closed, can open and close (8+4+1)
• 15 = Locked, closed, pickproof, can open and close (8+4+2+1)

Note: This value will change dynamically as players open, close, lock, and unlock the container.

Exit flags

Mob flags

Object flags

oset <object name or vnum> flags <flag(s)>

Flags define certain properties of an object.

On line editing uses the name of the flags and can be stacked just by listing the flags.

Example: oset dagger flags antineutral glow hum

Text editing uses stacked, added up, bitvectors.

Example: 2051 represents the flags antineutral, glow and hum

Player flags

Attacker and Killer flags are put on players who violate laws regarding pkilling. Having either one of these flags will cause mobs to treat you differently. Shopkeepers will not sell to you and guards will attack you on sight. You may apply to Captain Garet in Blackmoor to remove the flag. He is located in the Town Hall.

Attacker

Attacker flags are automatically given by the MUD to players who engage in illegal attacks upon other players. These attacks can initiated by using the 'murder' command, casting an attack spell, or ordering followers to attack a player. Deadlies attacking other deadlies do not receive Attacker flags. These flags are only given out in situations that involve peaceful players, i.e., deadlies attacking peacefuls (or vice versa) or peacefuls attacking peacefuls. You will be tagged with an Attacker flag if:

1. You attempt to murder another player, or they attempt to murder you.
2. You order charmed mobiles or pets to attack a player or you are attacked by another player's mobiles. You will also be flagged if you order your pet to murder a mob instead of using the kill command.
3. You are a deadly player and attacked a fellow clanmember.

Killer

Killer flags are automatically given by the MUD to players who illegally cause the death of another player. Only situations which involve peacefuls being killed by mortals, or deadlies killing fellow clanmembers will result in the assignment of this flag. You will receive a Killer flag if:

1. You caused the death of another player, regardless of who attacked first. To help prevent yourself from acquiring a Killer flag after being attacked, set yourself to Config +Nice.
2. You were the master of a mobile or pet which killed another player while under the influence of your charm. Please note that you will receive a Killer flag even if the player that died attacked the charmed mobile without the master's permission. Charmers and pet owners are held responsible for the actions of their pets/charms.
3. You are a deadly player and caused the death of a fellow clanmember.

Thief

The Thief flag was used in Realms of Despair, the original SMAUG MUD, to punish players who killed the shopkeepers in the newbie area. It is not currently used in DoD.

Litterbug

The litterbug flag may be applied to players who drop useless items everywhere or fill up an important room with object spam. It will prevent the player from dropping items. It must be applied manually, using the syntax:

litterbug <player>

Pardon

The 'pardon' command can be used by Immortals of level 103 or higher to remove player flags. However, having the player see Captain Garet is the preferred method.

pardon <player> [flag]

Room flags

These are the various room flags of SMAUG.

redit flags <flag>
