Faux Atmo Settings

Description

Gives you some atmosphere: every so often it uses one of your items with one of its verbs, like twirl my staff or rub my charm. It runs in the background, taking your items and their verbs in turn. It doesn't act while you're hidden or invisible, while a faux_atmo_no_use_scripts script runs, or in a faux_atmo_no_use_rooms room.

Items with no name or no verbs are skipped, with a message. If none are left: "No items to check. Ending script. Double check your settings."

The two no-use lists above are the base.yaml defaults. If you set your own, it replaces the default, so copy any entries you want to keep.

Setting	Default	Purpose
faux_atmo_items		Required. Your items: each with its name and a list of verbs.
faux_atmo_interval	15	Minutes between actions.
faux_atmo_random	true	Shuffle the items and verbs when it starts. It still takes them in turn after that.
faux_atmo_no_use_scripts	(the list above)	Don't act while any of these scripts is running.
faux_atmo_no_use_rooms	(the list above)	Don't act in these rooms: a room id, or text that appears anywhere in the room's title.

Argument Settings

Argument	Purpose
debug	Show debug messages. ;vars set faux_atmo_debug=true does the same every time.
