Exit: global_west

Instance of: adventurejs.Exit

Defined in: adventure/assets/tangibles/exits/GlobalExitWest.js, line 9

How to: UseBuiltInScenery

Runtime node: game.world.global_west

global_west is an instance of Exit. GlobalExits provide a way to return an error message when a player tries to travel in a direction that has no Exit. Messages can be customized by Room, by Zone, or for the entire Game. GlobalExit objects are enabled by default, but can be disabled or customized, as in the examples below.

Example:

Here's an example of how to set GlobalExit 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: "Middleditch",
  exits: 
  {
    north: "Northditch",
    south: "Southditch",
  }
  room_scenery: 
  {
    global_east: { enabled: true, description: "The walls of the ditch block passage. ", },
    global_west: { enabled: true, description: "You can't climb the steep ditch walls. ", },
  }
});

Here's an example of how to set GlobalExit 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: "Outside Moria",
  zone_scenery: 
  {
    global_north: { 
      enabled: true, 
      description: "Passage to the north is blocked by a vertical cliff face. ",
    },
    global_south: { 
      enabled: true, 
      description: "The waters to the south are unpassable due to the watcher in the water. ",
    },
  },
});
MyGame.createAsset({
  class: "Room",
  name: "Thin Sandy Shore",
  zone: "Outside Moria",
  descriptions: { 
    look: "You feel eyes upon you as you traverse this thin sandy shore 
    between the cliff face and the murky lake. ", 
  },
  exits: {
    west: "Western edge of shore",
    east: "Eastern edge of shore"
  },
});

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

MyGame.setGlobalDescriptions({
  global_up: { enabled: true, description: "Until you learn to fly, there's no way up. ", },
  global_down: { enabled: true, description: "You smoosh your face against the ground. ", },
});

Private Constructor:

MyGame.createGlobalExits({ "name": "global_west", [...] });

global_west is a predefined instance of Exit that gets constructed automatically at runtime. It is defined in the library as a generic object, and then passed to Game#createGlobalExits for construction, validation, and initialization. Because this is predefined, authors should not need to create new instances. For information on modifying global Exits, see How to Use Built-in Scenery.

GlobalExit are instances of adventurejs.Exit (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_west via their game files through the use of adventurejs.Game#setGlobalDescriptions.

event_hooks()

Defined in: adventure/assets/Tangible.js, line 1498

Inherited from: adventurejs.Tangible#event_hooks

Todos: move all this!

Allow authors to insert custom logic on a per-asset basis, when specified assets react to being manipulated by verbs. To use, create a key/value pair for each asset you wish to insert logic for, where the key is the name of the other asset and the value is an anonymous function, as in this example: 
MyGame.createAsset({
  class: "Bicycle",// THIS asset to be nested to
  name: "bicycle",
  event_hooks: {
    onNestThatToThis: {
      "Mighty Hero": function(params){ // THAT asset to be nested 
        MyGame.prependToNextPrint("You wobble a bit getting on the bike. ");
        MyGame.appendToNextPrint("Success! ");
      }
    },
  },
});
This example only adds some text to the output for the turn, but overrides can be used to add any kind of logic. Here's are some of the reactions that can be overriden:
  • onMoveThatToThis - when that asset is moved to this asset
  • onRemoveThisFromThat - when this asset is removed from that asset
  • onRemoveThatFromThis - when that asset is removed from this asset
  • onMoveThisToThat - when this asset is moved to that asset
  • onNestThatToThis - when that character is nested to this asset
  • onNestThisToThat - when this character is nested to that asset
  • onUnnestThatFromThis - when that character is unnested from this asset
  • onUnnestThisFromThat - when this character is unnested from that asset
  • onSubtractSubstanceFromThis - when a substance is subtracted from this asset
  • onAddSubstanceToThis - when a substance is added to this asset
  • onDestroyThis - when this asset is removed from the game
  • onChangeMoisture - when this asset is moistened
  • onChangeTemperature - when this asset is subjected to a change in temperature
  • onChangeGravity - when this asset is subjected to a change in gravity
  • onTieThisToThat - when this asset is tied to that asset
  • onTieThatToThis - when that asset is tied to this asset
  • onUntieThisFromThat - when this asset is untied from that asset
  • onUntieThatFromThis - when that asset is untied from this asset
  • onTurnThis - when this asset is turned
  • onTurnThisWithThat - when this asset is turned with that asset
  • onTurnThatWithThis - when that asset is turned with this asset
  • onLetGoThis - when player lets go of this asset
  • onHoldThis - when player holds this asset
  • onDrinkThis - when this asset is drunk
  • onDrinkFromThis - when this asset is drunk from

    Parameters:

    • hook string
    • asset_name string
      We use asset.name here instead of asset.id to make life slightly easier for authors. Asset IDs are formed from asset names, but generally we don't expect authors to be aware of IDs. Hooks will only be defined by authors, so let them use asset.name as their identifier. We do however make an effort to see if an id has been passed instead of a name.
    Check if this asset has an event_hooks for a given verb; additionally check if the asset has an event_hooks for a specific asset in combination with the verb. This check is also performed redundantly too in tryEventHook.js.

    Boolean
