| 2 | void write(mixed msg) |
| 3 | |
| 4 | DESCRIPTION: |
| 5 | Write out something to the current player. What exactly will |
| 6 | be printed in the end depends of the type of msg. |
| 7 | Please mind: if there is no current player (this_player()), the |
| 8 | function will output directly to the driver debug log. Please check |
| 9 | before! |
| 10 | |
| 11 | If it is a string or a number then just prints it out. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | If it is an object then the object will be printed in the |
| 14 | form: "OBJ("+object_name((object)mix)+")" |
| 15 | |
| 16 | If it is an array just "<ARRAY>" will be printed. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | If the write() function is invoked by a command of an living |
| 19 | but not interactive object and the given argument is a string |
| 20 | then the lfun catch_tell() of the living will be invoked with |
| 21 | the message as argument. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | EXAMPLES: |
| 24 | write("Hello world!\n"); |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Just print out a string. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | write(this_player()); |
| 29 | |
| 30 | This will print out something like "OBJ(std/player#1234)". |
| 31 | |
| 32 | write( ({ "blub" }) ); |
| 33 | |
| 34 | Will print out "<ARRAY>". |
