Include Basic Characters by ShadowChaser.
Section: Description This extension simulates three basic elements of characters or creatures for use in games - magic, health and sanity. It also provides a "status" command that players can use to display a description of these three basic elements. Section: Dependencies The following extensions are used and loaded by this one: Plurality by Emily Short. Useful Functions by ShadowChaser. Section: 6L02 Compatibility Update This extension differs from the author's original version: it has been modified for compatibility with version 6L02 of Inform. The latest version of this extension can be found at . This extension is released under the Creative Commons Attribution licence. Bug reports, feature requests or questions should be made at . Section: Health Every person or animal in the game has three user changeable values called health, max_health, and heal_rate. These are explained below:- health - The current health of a person or animal (defaulted to 10). A person or animal can be considered dead if their health is 0 (although this extension provides no definition of death). max_health - This is the person or animals maximum level of health (when they are uninjured - defaulted to 10). heal_rate - This is the speed at which a person heals (defaulted to 5). It is an indication of the number of turns before the person or animal regains 1 health point when injured. Note: a dead person or animal will not regain health unless you make their health at least 1 point manually first. The command "health" will display a description of the player's health. (This is defined as an out of work action called requesting the health of the player. This won't be their actual health value; rather it will be some text like "injured" or "healthy" If the player is at 0 health it will display "dead". Each person or animal can also be heal_safe or heal_unsafe. The default is heal_safe. If a person or animal is heal_unsafe then they will not undergo the natural healing process until they are made heal_safe again. To print a description of the current health of an animal or person:- Say health_of {personoranimal} To increase or decrease a person or animal's health: increase_health_of {personoranimal} by {amount} decrease_health_of {personoranimal} by {amount} If a person or animal loses all of their health they become "dead". This is a convenient way of indicating 0 health, e.g.: if the player is dead, end the story saying "You have died." Section: Magic Every person or animal in the game has three user changeable values called magic_level, max_magic, and magic_regen_rate. these are explained below:- magic - The current magic level of a person or animal (defaulted to 10). max_magic - This is the person or animals maximum level of magic (defaulted to 10). magic_regen_rate - This is the speed at which a person regains magic (defaulted to 5). It is an indication of the number of turns before the person or animal regains 1 magic point when their magic level is less than max_magic. Each person or animal can also be regen_safe or regen_unsafe. The default is regen_safe. If a person or animal is regen_unsafe then they will not undergo the natural magic level regeneration process until they are made regen_safe again. The command "magic" will display a description of the player's magic. (This is defined as an out of work action called requesting the magic level of the player. This won't be their actual magic value; rather it will be some text like "drained" or "fully charged". Not every game will want the player to use magic. For this reason if the following line is used: Use no magic reporting Then the command "magic" will display "You are no magician.", and the magic status of the player will not be included in the "status" command. To print a description of the current magic level of an animal or person:- Say magic_of {personoranimal} To increase or decrease a person or animal's magic: increase_magic_of {personoranimal} by {amount} decrease_magic_of {personoranimal} by {amount} If a person or animal loses all of their magic they become "magically spent". This is a convenient way of indicating 0 magic level, e.g.: if the player is magically spent, say "You are unable to cast any more spells at present.". Section: Sanity Every person or animal in the game has a number called sanity (defaulted to 99). This is a measure of how sane a person or animal is. The command "sanity" will display a description of the player's sanity. (This is defined as an out of work action called requesting the sanity of the player. This won't be their actual sanity value, rather it will be some text like "sane" or "insane". To print a description of the current sanity level of an animal or person:- Say sanity_of {personoranimal} To increase or decrease a person or animal's sanity: increase_sanity_of {personoranimal} by {amount} decrease_sanity_of {personoranimal} by {amount} If a person or animal loses all of their sanity they become "permanently insane". This is a convenient way of indicating 0 sanity, e.g.: if the player is permanently insane, say "You have completely lost your mind...". Section: Status The command "status" will display a description of the player's health, magic and sanity. (This is defined as an out of work action called requesting the status of the player. Example: ** The Hideous Rabbit of Thoth - This demonstrates most of the functions used in this extension. You might want to keep examining your status whilst testing.
