Hi all,

Couple of things I can't work out despite trawling the forums and the wiki.

1) Is there a way to empty all the contents of a container into a specific room? I don't want to list specific objects as the contents of the container depend on the player actions.

2) I want a command that lists all the objects in a room. I think I should be able to use Scope for this but I can't write it properly to turn it into a command.

1) Something like this (untested):

foreach (obj, GetDirectChildren(container)) {
    obj.parent = targetroom
}

2) An example command with code lifted (more or less) from the Quest core code. I broke out the prefix for clarity.

  <command>
    <pattern>objects</pattern>
    <script>
    	prefix = "Looking around, you notice"
    	msg(FormatObjectList(prefix, GetNonTransparentParent(game.pov.parent), Template("And"), "."))
    </script>
  </command>

if you don't mind working in~with the code:

A. http://quest5.net/wiki/Category:All_Fun ... t_Commands (page 1, range: A-S)
B. http://quest5.net/w/index.php?title=Cat ... t#mw-pages (page 2, range: S-Z)

-------------

1. for some Script (Verb, Command, Function, etc):

GetDirectChildren (your_container_Object's_name_with_no_quotes)
~OR~
GetAllChildObjects (your_container_Object's_name_with_no_quotes)

there is the 'multiple' Attribute with Command for 'all', but I don't know yet exactly how it works (how to code it correctly) yet.

<command name="drop_container_objects_into_a_specific_room_command">
  <pattern>drop from #object1# into #object2#</pattern>
  <script>
    drop_container_objects_into_a_specific_room_function (object1,object2)
  </script>
</command>

// object1 -> container_object_x
// object2 -> room_x

<function name="drop_container_objects_into_a_specific_room_function" parameters="container_object_x,room_x">
  container_object_list = GetDirectChildren (container_object_x)
  foreach (object_x, container_object_list) {
    object_x.parent = room_x
  }
</function>

---------------------------

2. DisplayList ( list , boolean numbers )

ordered list: DisplayList ( list , 0 // or maybe its 1, meh, lol)
unordered list: DisplayList ( list , 1 // or maybe its 0, meh, lol)

--  don't know boolean numbers, whether: 0=true and 1=false, or 1=true and 0=false, lol. I think for 'on~off', it's: 0=off and 1=on

<command name="show_list_command">
  <pattern>showlist #object#</pattern>
  <script>
    container_object_list = GetDirectChildren (object)
    DisplayList (container_object_list, 0)
  </script>
</command>

Thank you both - I will try these out!
