Trying to do a little coding on my own, have an idea for a bit of gunplay in a game, and i'm giving every for the attribute "enemy" as a script that will run when they are shot.. so player says "Shoot Villain" and it all works fine. I would like the code to work with just saying "Shoot" and checking to see if anything nearby is a valid target. if one isn't specified..

So I added a foreach

Use the recently fired to prevent the player getting a shot at everyone in the room

the Command is pretty basic

Shoot #object#;Shoot
and the script

if (HasScript(object,"enemy")) {
  do (object, "enemy")
}
else if (not GetBoolean(player, "recentlyfired")) {
  foreach (N, ScopeVisible()) {
    if (HasScript(N,"enemy")) {
      do (N, "enemy")
      SetObjectFlagOn (player, "recentlyfired")
    }
  }
} 

Hello!

Here's how I did that:

Command Pattern: shoot #object#;fire at #object#;shoot at #object#

SCRIPT:

if (Got(revolver)) {
  if (revolver.shots > 0) {
    if (not HasAttribute(object, "shoot_msg")) {
      deadman = "+ object +"
      if (HasAttribute(object, "Antag")) {
        if (not object.name = "Murphy") {
          msg ("You shoot " + object.name + ".")
          RemoveObject (object)
          revolver.shots = revolver.shots - 1
        }
        else {
          shootMurphy
          // msg ("You shoot Murphy. GAME OVER (until I add the rest of the shootout)")
          // finish
        }
      }
      else {
        msg ("You'd rather not shoot the " + object.name + ".")
      }
    }
    else {
      invoke (object.shoot_msg)
    }
  }
  else {
    msg ("No more buwwets.")
  }
}
else {
  msg ("You have no gun.")
}

Then, I just set up a SHOOT command:

Command Pattern: shoot;fire

SCRIPT:

if (Got(revolver)) {
  foreach  (o, ScopeReachable()) {
    if (HasAttribute(o, "Antag")) {
    //msg ("Testing Message:")
    //msg (o)
      HandleSingleCommand ("shoot " + GetDisplayName(o)) 
    }
  }
}
else {
  msg ("You have no gun.")
}
