Pets, pets, and more pets

I'm just throwing together a quick guide for pets/puppets

1. you'll have to create an object

Code:

@create object

2. set its puppet flag

Code:

@set object=puppet

3. From here, there's lots of things you can do. First, set the pet to monitor so it can hear commands

Code:

@set object=monitor

4. Add some easy spoken commands: (i assume you understand how these work)

Code:

&bark_cmd object=*^ says, "Bark!":POSE goes berserk and barks viciously.

5. Easy code to take/drop stuff:

Code:

&takeobject_cmd object=*^ says, "Pet, take *!":POSE shifts around and says, "Rowkay" then slithers over to %1 and picks it up.;take/quiet %1

Code:

&dropobject_cmd object=*^ says, "Pet, spit * out!":POSE hacks and coughs up a %1.;drop/quiet %1

6. Stoko's learning code from mushcode.com (http://www.mushcode.com/ViewFile.aspx?Id=185 for that lecture)

Code:

&command_learn #4784=^* says, "Pet, when I say "*", everyone in the room will see - *":@force me={@set me=command_%1:^* says, "Pet, %1":@emit %2;pose intelligently nods to %N.}

this basically lets you teach it commands without having to use any coding. For example, to teach a pet to sleep, you'd type "Pet, when I say "Sleep", everyone in the room will see - Pet hits the snooze button on the alarm and goes back to sleep".
now you'll type "pet, sleep" and the pet will do the resulting action. it's BAUS
