Re: Pmotes, Smotes, Oh My!
Pmote as used in RPIs typically refers to a command which lets you temporarily change your long description which is the sentence people see which indicates your character is in a room. Typically, someone entering a room would see your character via the line:
A large man with brown hair stands here.
Additionally, you have a short description which is used by the code when emoting and with other commands like pmotes. In this example, your short description would be:
a large man with brown hair
If you used a pmote, the long description people see when they enter a room would be that of the pmote:
pmote stands near the door.
A large man with brown hair stands near the door.
They wouldn't see your normal long description, they'd see your pmote anytime they used the stand-alone look command. However, any movement by you typically resets your long description to your default.
As for smote, ask those who requested it what it stands for. I've heard of smote but have received conflicting examples of what the term refers to.
Take care,
