Scenery: global_mountains

Instance of: adventurejs.Scenery

Defined in: adventure/assets/tangibles/scenery/GlobalMountains.js, line 6

More info: NextSteps_GlobalScenery

Runtime node: game.world.global_mountains

global_mountains is an instance of Scenery. Global scenery provides a way to return a message when a player examines distant scenery that has not specifically been coded but which a player might expect would be present, such as sun, sky, moon, stars, the air, etc. Messages can be customized and scenery enabled/disabled by Room, by Zone, or for the entire Game. GlobalScenery objects are disabled by default. To learn how to enable and customize them, see Global Scenery.

Example:

Here's an example of how to set GlobalScenery descriptions per Room. Though global Assets are, in fact, global, the descriptions you set for them in a Room are local to that Room, so that each Room can set different descriptions. Room settings take precedence over Zone settings or global settings. 

MyGame.createAsset({
  class: "Room",
  name: "The Moors",
  room_scenery: 
  {
    global_moon: { 
      enabled: true, 
      description: "It's just a slightly brighter patch among the misty darkness. ", 
    },
    global_stars: { 
      enabled: true, 
      description: "They're impossible to see through the thick mists. ",
    },
    global_sun: { enabled: false, }, // parser would return generic not found message
  }
});

Here's an example of how to set GlobalScenery descriptions per Zone. Zones can be shared by multiple Rooms. Room settings take precedence over Zone settings, and Zone settings take precedence over global settings. 

MyGame.createAsset({
  class: "Zone", 
  name: "Frigid Wastes",
  zone_scenery: 
  {
    global_wind: { 
      enabled: true, 
      description: "The freezing wind tears your body heat to tatters. ",
    },
    global_sun: { 
      enabled: true, 
      description: "It's simultaneously washed out yet blindingly bright. ",
    },
  },
});
MyGame.createAsset({
  class: "Room",
  name: "Icy Flow",
  zone: "Frigid Wastes",
  description: "Stripped bare by icy winds. You begin to think you may die here. ",
});

Here's an example of how to set GlobalScenery descriptions for anywhere in the game. These will be presented in every Room, unless overridden by Zone or Room settings. 

MyGame.setGlobalDescriptions({
  global_sun: { 
    enabled: true, 
    description: "Sun and moon are visible together in the strange sky. ",
  },
  global_moon: { 
    enabled: true, 
    description: "Moon and sun revolve together in the strange twilit sky. ",
  },
});

To learn more, see Global Scenery.

Private Constructor:

MyGame.createGlobalScenery({ "name": "global_mountains", [...] });

global_mountains is a predefined instance of Scenery that gets constructed automatically at runtime. It is defined in the library as a generic object, and then passed to Game#createGlobalScenery for construction, validation, and initialization. Because this is predefined, authors should not need to create new instances. For information on modifying predefined Scenery, see Global Scenery.

GlobalScenery are instances of adventurejs.Scenery (and not a unique global class). Global assets can be referenced from anywhere in the game world and exist primarily to catch player inputs that refer to things that might be present, but aren't. For example, if a player enters "examine east exit" in a room which hasn't got one.

Authors can modify global_mountains via their game files through the use of adventurejs.Game#setGlobalDescriptions.

is.rideable :Boolean

Defined in: adventure/assets/tangibles/things/Rideable.js, line 49

Inherited from: adventurejs.Tangible#is.rideable

Default value: false

Nested property of Is

Setting a Tangible Asset's is.rideable property to true allows players to ride the Tangible Asset while still holding it in inventory.

Normally, when putting one Tangible in/on/under/behind another, the child asset is added to the parent asset's in/on/under/behind Aspect.

In the case of Characters, they can only be in the Room they are in. When Characters move in/on/under/behind Tangible subclasses such as Chairs or Beds, they become nested, which is a secondary form of parent/child relationship.

For example, the player is IN a room. A bed is also IN the same room. When the player gets ON the bed, the player remains IN the room and also becomes NESTED ON the bed.

We do this for a couple of reasons. One is to prevent overcomplicating the routines that determine what Tangible Assets are considered to be within scope when parsing player input. Another is to avoid circular child/parent relationships, which overcomplicate save/restore operations. Circular relationships also overcomplicate parsing player input.

For example, imagine that a player holds a skateboard IN their inventory and then stands ON the skateboard. If both objects were in each other's Aspects, that would be a circular relationship. By nesting the player to the skateboard, the skateboard can remain in the player's inventory with fewer complications.

For example, a Sink can have matching Faucet, FaucetHandles, Drain and Plug. Not all classes have parts. See each class's documentation header for "Can have parts:" and "Can be part of:". The registerParts() method is called during initialization. Set up parts like so: 
MyGame.createAsset({
  class: "Sink",
  name: "sink",
  place: { in: "Bathroom" },
  descriptions:{
    look: function()
    {
      return "A pedestal sink with porcelain handles and
      a stainless steel faucet. Its drain appears to be
      $( sink drain is| open or| closed ). ";

split_name_for_world_lookup :Boolean

Defined in: adventure/Asset.js, line 128

Inherited from: adventurejs.Asset#split_name_for_world_lookup

Default value: true

Object names are split into individual words for the world_lookup table. For example, given an object named "crystal sword", adventurejs creates lookup table entries for "crystal" and "sword". This lets the game recognize either word as player input, such as "get crystal" or "swing sword".

But, an author might want to name a thing, eg, "hole in the ground", in which case we wind up with lookup table entries for "hole" and "in" and "the" and "ground", which is likely to lead to bad input parsing. To avoid name splitting, set split_name_for_world_lookup to false. The object's full name will still be added to the lookup.
things_player_can_climb_to_from_this :Array

things_player_can_reach_from_this :Array

Defined in: adventure/assets/Tangible.js, line 736

Inherited from: adventurejs.Tangible#things_player_can_reach_from_this

Default value: []

When player is nested within an aspect of an asset, other assets may not be reachable. things_player_can_reach_from_this helps manage reachability. For example, if player is on a ladder, things on the ground might not be reachable. But, a player seated on a chair at a desk should be able to reach the desk and anything on it. Use this property to explicitly make some things reachable from other things.

things_player_can_reach_from_this is a broad catchall that covers all nesting options. What this means is that players can reach assets in this list no matter how they are nested within this asset. Going back to the example of the chair and desk, if the chair has this property set thusly... 
this.things_player_can_reach_from_this = [ 'desk' ];
...it means that the player, seated in the chair, can reach any part of the desk: not just stuff that's on it, but also stuff under it or behind it. That might be fine for your purposes. Or, you might want more granular control. Let's say there's an electrical outlet under the desk, and you want that players shouldn't be able to reach it without actually crawling under the desk. If you need that kind of precision, you can manage reachability for each aspect of an asset. For more information about that, see Aspect.things_player_can_reach_from_this_aspect and Aspect.things_player_can_reach_from_positions_of_this_aspect.
things_player_can_reach_from_top_of_this :Array

Defined in: adventure/assets/Tangible.js, line 765

Inherited from: adventurejs.Tangible#things_player_can_reach_from_top_of_this

Default value: []

When player is nested within an asset, other assets may not be reachable. For example, if player is on a ladder, things on the ground won't be reachable. Use this property to explicitly list things that player can reach while nested at the top of asset. For example, perhaps there is a window that player should only be able to reach from the top of a ladder. things_player_can_reach_from_top_of_this allows that to be set. For example: 
this.things_player_can_reach_from_top_of_this = [ 'window' ];
things_player_can_reach_from_this is a convenience method for a common situation. If you need more control over reachability from specific positions within an aspect, like left/right/front/back, you can manage that at the aspect level. For more information about that, see Aspect.things_player_can_reach_from_this_aspect and Aspect.things_player_can_reach_from_positions_of_this_aspect.
