Nemesis bulletin boards: Documentation bulletin board, note 4

If you have objects, that say 'Ok.' when you do something with
them, you might be interested to make use of the 'echo' mechanism
in player.c, which displays the kind of prompt the user likes most.
Works like this:
When you have done something for the user, instead of write Ok. you
do return this_player()->echo("You climb the tree.");
Which will echo the phrase if echo is on, echo Ok. if echo is set
to ok etc.
The function always returns 1, so you can call it from return.
Don't append newlines, they get appended automatically.

This should of course only be used in the situation where what the
user wanted has been done as he would expect it, so the information
is not really important to be displayed, just elegant.

Corresponding help pages for players: 'help echo' and 'help set'.

This board is to document how to code various stuff in Nemesis.
Within Nemesis it is located in the inner guild in the village.
If you have written documents that should be placed here or
if you think something important is missing please contact an
Archwizard - see 'help admin' or https://nemesis.de/lpc/help/admin .
Nowadays especially new features etc. are posted here.
