Movement

Written by: Keroc, the Starborn
Date: Saturday, April 22nd, 2023
Addressed to: Everyone


I've updated how people show when moving around in group a bit, especially in cases where a custom message is used to show off certain skill usage, such as teleportation.

There is a lot of movement methods in the game, so I can't guarantee it'll work appropriately for all of them (or be able to fix all of them), so just consider this a test for now in case we need to revert back.


In the past, it would always show like this, like when crashing through an icewall:

Kikon enters from the south, followed by Keroc.
They are followed by an inky shadeling.


Now it will show like this:

Kikon comes crashing in through a large wall of ice from the south.
Trailing behind him follows Keroc.
They are followed by an inky shadeling.

And another example:

Kikon Corona says, "Voltda."
A sulfurous portal opens in the ground before Kikon and he quickly jumps into it before it snaps shut behind him.
Trailing behind him follows Keroc.
They are followed by an inky shadeling.


In cases where it defaults to the basic messaging (this includes fancy things like Shapeshifter pelts), then it will just use the usual following message.

That's all for now, please let me know if you see it working incorrectly or in situations where maybe it shouldn't.

Penned by my hand on Kinsday, the 6th of Khepary, in the year 509 MA.
