08 Jun 2018, 13:08The "You can see" message includes all objects that are in the room, visible, and not scenery when it is displayed. If any of those objects don't have the "hidechildren" attribute and are either transparent or open, their children are shown too.
Note that if you make an object visible after that line has been displayed, it won't change. It will carry on showing the objects that were visible when the player entered the room or looked around.
