Global error obj

Configuration

CONFIG PARAMETER: global_error_obj <dbref>

DEFAULT: -1

Specifies the object that it looks for, to evaluate an attribute whenever a ‘Huh? (Type ‘help’ for help)’ would have shown up. The attribute is the VA attribute (settable by @va or &va), and will evaluate like you would in a @pemit, think, or other command. The enactor is %#, though it is evaluated by the object itself. This CAN be a security risk if not done properly, but is done that way on purpose. The string they typed will be passed as %0. It will be unevaluated and ‘as-is’.

Why the VA attribute? Why not? I felt it was being all alone and left out of the fun ;)

Original code and helpfile from RhostMUSH. Used with permission.

Example:

Set.
> @pemit me=Test

You typed '@pmit me=Test'
