is_potion_or_salve

int is_potion_or_salve(object ob)


This is the default function for checking if something can be sold in a potion shop. If you override this, there is no reason to inherit this file, so you can't. It will accept any object that contains something which has an eat effect or an apply effect.

• Parameters:
  ob - The object that someone is trying to sell to the shop
• Returns:
  success 1 if the object can be sold, 0 if not

query_message_function

function query_message_function()




• Returns:
  Pointer to the message function
  query_shopkeeper

  string query_shopkeeper()
  

  
  
  
  • Returns:
    The name of the shopkeeper
    set_message_function

    void set_message_function(function wossname)
    

    
    This method sets the message function for the shop. The message function can be useful to handle messages to the player via the shopkeeper. The function should be of type string -> void. If message_function is not set, we default to a rather nice function. If message_function is explicitly set to 0, no message will be given apart from the standard messages from craft_shop. It is called from is_potion_or_salve() and can also be used in do_buy() etc.
    
    • Parameters:
      wossname - A pointer to the function
    • Example:
      

      set_message_function( (: nudity_say :) ),
      where nudity_say looks like void nudity_say( string message ).
      When using

        shopkeeper_say

        void shopkeeper_say(string message)
