Zilal's tutorial on making text-based games should help.

Thank you very much...
now I encountred another problem...

emote(msg as text) usr << "Everyone sees:"
view() << "[usr] [msg]"

I input this code as said on Zlia's Tutorial and it says when I compile it says:
error:emote :undefined proc

so I add the proc as said on the tutorial:
proc
Msg23(second,third) usr << second oview() << third

and it still says that emote is a undefined process...
can any1 help me?

did you notice anything above emote()? Your getting that error because it doesn't know what emotes parent type is, and emote() isn't a parent_type so it gave an error.

mob
    verb
        emote(msg as text)
            usr<<"Everyone sees:"
            view()<<"[usr] [msg]"


Also, put your code in <dm> and </dm> tags, and dont space, but tab( the tab key ) to space the code.

That's pretty basic, here is something a little better.

mob //This thing
    verb //An action
        say(msg as text) //Say
            if(msg) //If there's a message
                world<<"[src]: [html_encode(msg)]" //Send the message to the world, without processing the html.
                
// Nobody likes html, because idiots use it to spam your game.  It can also be written on one line.

mob/verb/say(msg as text) if(msg) world<<"[src]: [html_encode(msg)]"


It doesn't take into consideration if the person is muted or anything however. You would have to do that yourself.
