New verb: TAUNT 09/04/2013 11:55 PM CDT

Hiya folks,

I've just released a new verb - Taunt - to Plat and Prime tonight. TAUNT HELP will give you some options for use, and when I finish up work on the Paladin spell Crusader's Challenge it will be used to activate part of that spell's effects.

The taunts used by this verb are non-verbal taunting poses, so be prepared to follow it up with your own favorite insult, or a hasty mock. Many thanks to an unnamed GM who wrote a number of message sets, and to GM Abasha for handling the QC. Enjoy!

These are loads of fun! Can't wait to how CC ties into it.

You raise your hand and beckon that you are ready.

love it, i think i'll be using 3 or 4 of those often...

suggestion...

taunt person/creature with item too?

taunt apple with fork
You point a sharpened ivory fork at a bright red apple while staring sternly at it.

taunt leopard with fork
You lift your arm and stare down its length while pointing a sharpened ivory fork at a long-fanged snow leopard.

taunt cyia with fork
Taunt what?
[Syntax is TAUNT {style} {target}. See TAUNT HELP for more options.]

>>taunt person/creature with item too?

Yeah, there's a parser issue dealing with players and WITH parsing. I actually figured out why it doesn't work and have a slight rewrite to get around the issue. TAUNT now uses AT rather than WITH, so if you are using an object in your taunting, taunt <object> at <target>. Should work for all target types.

Seems to be a bug in this part of it when there's the same item in the room as in your hands:

>taunt wine at lavi
You thumb your nose a few times in 's direction.

>taunt wine at lavinius
You thumb your nose a few times in 's direction.

He saw:

Lyathe thumbs her nose a few times in 's direction.

Player of: Lyathe and Saslisena

Should be fixed now. Not the part of it defaulting to an item on the ground rather than your hands - that's a parser thing - but the player name should show up correctly.
