Lysander's Chalice of TinyTIM
Hello there. This page is dedicated to my function
object on TinyTIM (a MUSH, a Multi-User Shared Hallucination. If you don't know what I'm
talking about, you might want to check out TinyTIM's home page). This page is not exactly
about how I coded the Chalice, nor is it about how to make functions of your own, nor is
it an attempt to get you into MUSHing.What this page is all about is USING the functions
that I made if you're on TinyTIM already. I won't go too in-depth about functions in
general because of the nice help system TinyTIM already has to cover them. But here's a
quick crash course on function terminology/usage, just in case.
Don't type the < or >'s in examples. Don't type the ' in these examples here
either, type what's in-between them.
If a function expects nothing, you can use it as simply as typing just 'say
functionname()'
Some functions expect a string, or 'argument'. Just put the string between the
parentheses.
To use a function object (other than TinyTIM's main ones) you'll need to function
yourself to it first. To function yourself to both my chalice (object #69347) and me
(#74765), type '@append me/functions=#69347 #74765'.
Okee! I'm ready already. So what are the functions on your Chalice?
Oh yeah. Here's a lyst of all of the functions on the Chalice (#69347)
in alphabethical order:
alter(<string>) - Makes some strange changes to given <string>.Works best
when <string> is a user's @desc. Try alter(get(me/desc)). Expect to see shuffled
body parts, clothes, colors, etc.
analyze(<string>) - Returns the average length of words in <string>.
animal() - Returns a random animal. Having problems getting a's or an's matching up
appropriately with the animal? Try aoran(animal()).
aoran(<string>) - Returns <string> prepended by a or an, whatever is
appropriate to the <string>. "apple" would become "an apple",
"squirrel" would become "a squirrel", etc.
bodypart() - Returns a random body part.
carroll() - Returns a random quote from Lewis Carroll.
charsleft(<string>) - Tells you how many characters you can still type in on an
attribute before it reaches maximum attribute size, <string> being the contents of
