@dig

@dig

command: @dig[/] [= [, ] ]

creates a new room with the specified name and displays its number. this command costs 10 coins. if the [= ] option is used, an exit will be opened from the current room to the new room automatically. if the second option (after the comma) is specified, an exit from the new room back to the current room with the specified [exits] name is opened. either exit creation may fail if you do not have sufficient rights to the current room to open or link the new exit. example: the command

@dig kitchen = kitchen;k;north;n,south;s

will dig a room called kitchen, and open an exit called 'kitchen' in your current room. the ; symbol means that you may enter the exit by typing 'k', 'north' or 'n' also. this command also opens the exit 'south;s' from 'kitchen' back to where you are. only the first exit name is displayed in the obvious exits list.

if you specify the /teleport switch, then you are @teleported to the room after it is created and any exits are opened.
