| 11 | returned which tells the evaluation cost. Bigger number means |
| 12 | higher cost. The evaluation cost is approximately the number |
| 13 | of LPC machine code instructions executed. |

| Zesstra | 715ec20 | 2025-07-09 22:18:31 +0200 | [diff] [blame^] | 15 | If command() is called on another object, it is not possible |
| 16 | to call static functions in this way, to give some protection |
| 17 | against illegal forces. |

| 20 | has finished, the old settings of this_player(), query_verb() |
| 21 | etc, are restored. |
