Zapper Masks are a way of setting limits on certain properties or commands.

How to use Zapper Masks

Zapper Masks accept multiple primary flags and each primary flag can accept multiple parameters. All of the primary flags are ANDed together, and each of the parameters within a primary flag is ORed together. Some examples:

  • -RACE +Orc +Goblin -CLASS +Fighter
    • This is read (Exclude All races (except Orc or Goblins))AND(Exclude All classes (Except Fighter))
    • Or NOT RACE (except Orc or Goblin) AND NOT CLASS (except fighter)
    • Or RACE (Orc or Goblin) AND CLASS (Fighter)
      • This flag will prevent the target affect/behavior/property from working on all targets that are not ORC or GOBLIN race which are also FIGHTER class.
      • or This flag will will only work on ORC FIGHTERs OR GOBLIN FIGHTERs.

Ride/Follow Zapper Masks

The new flags -RIDE +RIDE, work as normal, except the "+-" character is implied and the argument IS THE ENTIRE REST OF THE ZAPPERMASK, and would apply only to what is being ridden, if anything. If riding nothing, -RIDE would always be true, and +RIDE would always be false.

  • Why does this help? Because Ships/Caravans don't enter rooms -- mobs who are proxies for the ships do. And they are always marked as "riding" the actual ship. So, to check if a ship is entering the room, it would be -RIDE -JAVACLASS +GENSAILINGSHIP

+- FOLLOW would also do something similar for whoever you are following.

  • e.g. a clan you can't apply to unless you are following an existing clan member. :)

Notes

  • To exclude drow from elf +race -drow -race +elf
  • Achievement Zappermasks: For player achievements, use TATTOOS for your zapper mask. For account achievements, use ACCCHIEVES as your zappermask.
  • For a field that has spaces in it, put double quotes around the operand AND the field data. For example, to make the mask only affect "a mangy mutt": -NAME "+a mangy mutt"
  • -DAYOFYEAR "+1st 5" can be used to specify specific groups of days within a year (weeks?). The example text is read "no days of the year except the 1st group of 5 days each year". "+2 of5" would give you the 2nd day of every 5 day grouping.
  • Since Inclination is just a glorified faction with extra ability support, you may use the +/-FACTION zappermask to restrict inclinations.
