I think you would do world.view=1 (btw view is spelled view not veiw)(I before E except after C)

instead of using "usr.view=1" try "view = 1"

if that doesn't work then come on back...

It's not possible yet to change the view of the world or the usr just yet.

view is a world variable(ie world.view), and as such you cannot change it for each individual person. You can change their luminosity, however. If you wish to totally blind someone, you can also take a look at client.eye. Perhaps set client.eye to a null location(client.eye=locate(1,1,0))

Okay, changing luminosity won't work. (As he said.)
"This sets the object's luminosity (how far it casts light)."

Like someone else said, try changle client.eye to null

But, look in the Help file, and we get:
sight var (mob)
See also:
invisibility setting (verb)
invisibility var (atom)
see_in_dark var (mob)
see_infrared var (mob)
see_invisible var (mob)
view proc
Default value:
0
This controls which objects on the map the mob can see. The default value of 0 means that the mob can see all objects that are visible and lit. Different flags in this var can be set to extend or limit this range.

The following bit flags are encoded in mob.sight:

SEE_INFRA // can see infra-red objects
SEE_SELF // can see self, no matter what
SEE_MOBS // can see all mobs, no matter what
SEE_OBJS // can see all objs, no matter what
SEE_TURFS // can see all turfs (and areas), no matter what
BLIND // can't see anything

Example:
usr.sight |= BLIND // turn on the blind bit
usr.sight &= ~BLIND // turn off the blind bit
usr.sight |= (SEE_MOBS|SEE_OBJS|SEE_TURFS) // turn on several bits at once
usr.sight &= ~(SEE_MOBS|SEE_OBJS|SEE_TURFS) // turn off several bits at once

Hope that helped.
