Speaking
From NexusWiki
Contents |
Speaking is a basic action that is available to all characters which allows them to broadcast a message to anyone in their immediate area for 1 Action Point.
Every third speech action is free for characters. The first two cost 1 AP, then the third is free. The counter resets after the "free" speak action or the server is reset (this is not persisted).
[edit] Chat
A character can communicate with everyone in the location by selecting "Everyone Present". All characters in the area, including those hidden and invisible, will receive the message.
[edit] Whisper
A character can communicate exclusively to one character in the area by selecting the name of the character they desire to speak with.
[edit] Emote
It is possible for a character to convey a physical action by emoting. This is achieved by prefixing the message with "/me".
The message:
- /me dances.
Will be seen by others as:
- (Character Name) dances.
Where (Character Name) is the name of the character conveying the message.
The appearance of incorporating speech with an action can be made by providing quotes and context.
The message:
- /me changes into a clean T-Shirt and says, "I do wish that those dastardly Infernal Behemoths would have the decency to stop exploding and covering my clothes in gore and ichor."
Will be seen by others as:
- (Character Name) changes into a clean T-Shirt and says, "I do wish that those dastardly Infernal Behemoths would have the decency to stop exploding and covering my clothes in gore and ichor."
It is not possible to whisper an emote.
