Wheel of Time MUD

WHO: ankle-biter mob and cook pot object
WHAT: when examining "pot", BOTH get included in the output. Typing "look in pot" JUST sees the cookpot.
WHEN: Just now, 12/26/2015 noon PST
WHERE and HOW:
o HP:Hurt MV:Fresh > l
A Dark Cranny
Fitting into this room has not been easy, although it is much larger than one
would suspect from the outside. However, the space is cramped as the walls
lean in at sharp and odd angles, and the floor drops several feet beneath the
exit, tilting slightly downward. This could have once been a basement of sorts
but is now little more than a hole in the wall.
[ obvious exits: E ]
A pile of copper pennies lies here.
A trolloc cookpot, couched in a bed of coals, boils with human flesh.
A tall, ramshorned trolloc is here, commanding.
Falling silent, a muzzled trolloc tests the wind... and begins to growl.
Falling silent, a muzzled trolloc tests the wind... and begins to growl.
A juvenile trolloc waits hungrily to be fed.
A hooved trolloc anxiously stamps its feet.

o HP:Hurt MV:Fresh > exa pot
Pot bellied and apparently starving, the trolloc ankle-biter must compete
for every morsel of food. It eyes you hungrily looking for a handout or
perhaps appraising your willingness to become its next meal.

An ankle-biter is in excellent condition.

an ankle-biter is using:
<wielded> a long-handled war axe
When you look inside, you see:
cookpot (here) :
Nothing.

Not a bug, the mob simply has the pot keyword:


* HP:Healthy SP:Bursting MV:Fresh > l juvenile
Pot bellied and apparently starving, the trolloc ankle-biter must compete
for every morsel of food. It eyes you hungrily looking for a handout or
perhaps appraising your willingness to become its next meal.

An ankle-biter is in excellent condition.

You attempt to peek at the inventory:
a hunk of beef
a hunk of beef
a hunk of beef

I actually like them having that keyword, it beats typing juvenile, trolloc, ankle or biter.

And everyone, including our imms, likes some good pot!

I know the mob has the keyword pot - just never seen two things like that show up. Does it happen if they are different objects? If I have two packs in my inv I can't look in both of them at once by using "exa pack".. or look at two horses in the room via "exa horse".

Yeah, it confuses the game. Hence why Lily and Gem were renamed and why we ask not to make names that can also be objects. The game gets even more confused when it comes to tells etc.

It's coding to fix it though. And not really a priority at that.

It happens frequently with mobs that respond to corpse and corpses in the same room (namely fade "corpses" with any other corpse on the ground).

Sounds good, doesn't seem gamebreaking but found it odd so thought I'd post. =)
