looking a herns help pages it lists a command trigger
Command {p,m} <keywords> [See HELP COMMAND PROGRAM]
under the room prog triggers.

is this as I suspect it might be, a way to make the mud react to a string typed as a command by the player?

if so is there a snipit out there to make such a thing for an object?

I would realy like to be able to place simple commands on an object that would react to what the player types directly...

example:

you make a ball that reacts to the command "bounce" by emoting "the ball bounces"

like a speech_prog except that it will react to stuff the player types directly.

is such a beast possible, and or does it exist already someplace?

SWR or something like that had it in. I have it installed in my MUD. It reacts to any non-command that the prog has in the room. So example, a "look" prog will not work but a "asdfdsf" will since there is no such command.

Stock SWR doesn't have it, but I know what your talking about, no idea where it is. If anyone has a link, please post it.

Oh, then it was SWFOTE, because I know one of the SWR dervs had it. I'm pretty sure its in SWFOTEFUSS at smaugfuss.org
