| SYNOPSIS |
| #include <configuration.h> |
| |
| void configure_object(object ob, int what, mixed data) |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| Sets the option <what> to the value <data> on the object <ob> |
| or the default for all interactives if <ob> is 0. |
| |
| If the first argument <ob> is not this_object(), the privilege |
| violation ("configure_object", this_object(), ob, what, data) |
| occurs. |
| |
| As <what>, the following arguments are accepted: |
| |
| <what> == OC_COMMANDS_ENABLED |
| Sets whether <ob> can use commands normally accessible to |
| users (1) or not (0). This also marks the object as "living". |
| |
| <what> == OC_HEART_BEAT |
| Enables (1) or disables (0) the heart beat for <ob>. The |
| driver will apply the lfun heart_beat() to the <ob> every |
| __HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL__ seconds, if it is enabled. |
| A shadow over the heart_beat() lfun will be ignored. |
| |
| If the heart beat is not needed for the moment, then do disable |
| it. This will reduce system overhead. |
| |
| Note that heart_beat()s are called only if there are enabled |
| via configuer_driver(DC_ENABLE_HEART_BEATS), which is the |
| default. |
| |
| |
| The current values for these options can be queried using |
| object_info(). |
