Name
exit aliases - alternative forms of exit commands for convenience
Syntax
add_alias( mixed names, string word )
remove_alias( mixed names, string word )
query_aliases()
Description
Aliases are convenient extra forms that can be attached to certain exits. In the above functions, the variable names is either a string or an array of strings and is, respectively, the alias or aliases for the direction passed in word. Since, sometimes, the same alias could be used for more than one exit, remove_alias() requires both alias(es) and direction in order to remove the correct alias(es).
Examples
add_exit( "north", PATH +"dining_hall", "corridor" );
add_alias( ({ "enter", "enter hall", "enter dining hall" }), "north" );
add_exit( "board carriage", PATH +"carriage", "door" );
add_alias( "board", "board carriage" );
remove_exit( "board carriage" );
remove_alias( "board", "board carriage" );
