If a room is used as a zone 1869 1888 master, it is a zone master room (ZMR). ZMRs are like local "master" 1870 rooms. Exits in the ZMR are global to that zone, and $ commands on1871 objects in the ZMR are global to that zone ($ commands on the ZMR itself,1872 like $ commands on the master room, are ignored).

Exits in the ZMR are global to that zone, and $-commands on 1890 objects in the ZMR are global to that zone ($-commands on the ZMR itself, 1891 like $-commands on the master room, are ignored). If a ZMR is a player's 1873 1892 personal zone, objects in the ZMR are checked for commands that the 1874 1893 player can use anywhere (but exits are not checked unless the player 1875 1894 is in a zoned room). 1876 1895 1877 Zone master rooms are only defined if globals are used. Zone master 1878 rooms are best used for very large zones which have a lot of global 1879 exits, or for zones with restricted commands that can go on a separate 1880 use-locked object from general ones. 1896 Zone master rooms are best used for very large zones which have a lot 1897 of global exits, or for zones with restricted commands that can go on 1898 a separate use-locked object from general ones. 1881 1899 1882 1900 See also: ZONES, MASTER ROOM, EVALUATION … … 1917 1935 that domain as long as the object in question is owned by the shared 1918 1936 player. 1937 1938 See also: SHARED, @lock 1919 1939 & ZONES 1920 1940 & ZONE OBJECTS 1921 1941 & ZONE MASTER OBJECTS 1922 1942 & ZMO 1943 & ZMT 1923 1944 Zones are areas of the MUSH that can have the same user-defined commands 1924 1945 without having to @parent every object in the zone or make the commands … … 1937 1958 See "help ZONES2" for more. 1938 1959 & ZONES2 1939 $ commands on a ZMO are treated as global within that zone.1940 The game attempts to match $ commands for the ZMO of the player's1941 location, as well as $ commands for the player's own zone.1960 $-commands on a ZMO are treated as global within that zone. 1961 The game attempts to match $-commands for the ZMO of the player's 1962 location, as well as $-commands for the player's own zone. 1942 1963 1943 1964 If you want restricted global commands defined over only a small area, 1944 1965 you can define that area to be part of a zone, and place the desired 1945 $ commands upon the ZMO. If you want players to be able to use special1946 commands for a culture they belong to, the $ commands should go on the1966 $-commands upon the ZMO. If you want players to be able to use special 1967 commands for a culture they belong to, the $-commands should go on the 1947 1968 ZMO, and the players @chzoned to it so they can use the commands 1948 1969 anywhere. 1949 1970 1950 1971 See also: @chzone, SHARED PLAYERS 1951 & matching1972 & MATCHING 1952 1973 Matching is the process the MUSH uses to determine which object you 1953 1974 mean when you try to do something with an object. Different commands 1954 1975 do matching in different ways, but most will allow you to specify 1955 1976 an object as: 1956 * its dbref (#7) 1977 * its dbref (#7) or objid (#7:123456789) 1957 1978 * its full name (Box of chocolates) 1958 1979 * part of any word in its name, if nothing else shares that part (Box) 1959 * me(yourself)1960 * here(the room you're in)1980 * the string "me" (yourself) 1981 * the string "here" (the room you're in) 1961 1982 Usually, you can also qualify an object with an adjective to help 1962 1983 the MUSH determine which object you mean.
