Universal Opening

This extension provides you with testing commands for force opening things. The commands are all in sections marked as "not for release" - this is intended to be a tool during development and test, not for actual games.

Section: Testing commands available to the player

The extension provides you with a "openall" command, available in several versions.

First of all you can open one single thing.If you have a safe and you want it open, just go "openall safe". This works both on doors and containers - anything that is "openable". Note that it does not unlock things, but rather just opens them, ignoring any locked property.

Second, you can open lots of things at once. "openalldoors", in one word, will open all doors. All of them at once, that is.

Third, you can do that to all things except doors. The command is "openallthings".

Fourth, you can open everything - all doors, and all things. The command is "just openall".

Example: * The secure piggy bank - A piggy bank that you can put things inside, even it it's closed and locked. Including the key! In the test, you put the key in the locked piggy bank and use "openall bank" to make it open.

"The Secure Piggy Bank"

Include Universal Opening by Peter Orme.

Nursery is a room.

The piggy bank is a closed openable lockable container in the nursery. It is locked.

The pink key unlocks the piggy bank. The player is carrying the pink key.

instead of inserting something into the piggy bank:
say "You slip [the noun] through the slot on the piggy's back.";
now the noun is in the piggy bank.

test me with "put key in bank / take key / open bank / openall bank / take key / close bank / open bank";

Version 1/120223 of Universal Opening by Peter Orme begins here.
