Button Push

This simple script can be placed on a room or an item. When a player types the words "PRESS BUTTON", the system would normally return a HUH message, but the script cancels that message, and instead runs the scripted commands (in this specific case, transferring the player to another area).

• If placed on a portable item, you may want to be more specific on the "PRESS BUTTON" command, like "PRESS FLASHLIGHT BUTTON" so that this script could be used by other items and rooms with differing nomenclature, like "PUSH BIG RED BUTTON". Otherwise, a player with a flashlight entering the room with the big red button would only activate their flashlight (or inadvertently push the big red button...depending on timing).
