NWAID - Questions and Info

Not sure this is a bug, but I can not seem to get it to work. When can it be used? what does exact command look like? *looks around* , *[looks around]* , *[looks] [Around]* , ** etc... Do you need to be near someting for it to work? Thanks, Etin Edit Talan Va'lash: Edited the topic so I could sticky this as a general help thread - TV

Any time you enter an area where it can be used, you will get a journal entry that notifies you of that. That is when I would suggust typing *Looks around* and you will be told what things you can further examine, touch, take, ect.
EDIT: Ioskeha beat me to it ;) - But let us know if you have any more questions.

examples of correct syntax: *looks around* or *look around* *examine boulder* or *examines the boulder* or *look boulder* or *looks at the boulder* As mentioned in the referenced thread nwaid interaction is only possible in NWAID areas (of which there are a handful.) It would take too much time to build every area as NWAID interactive AND take way too long for the player to get through if every area was NWAID interactive (plus, some things are simply not interesting enough to warrant their own descriptions hehe)

hehe..yeah I understand. I did figure it out. And I did figure out the NWAID spots. It was a bit confusing at first. But once you realize then it is a breeze. I am still having trouble using certain commands. Like putting a command in a hot spot. Does it actually place it in a hot key like f4 for example or does it have it's behind the scene own keys. Thinking about it, it is probably the same as a custom macro. And I can maybe just enter that myself.

If that it true, does the /o *look around* work? Course this is single player, and no one will see it if you jest type /talk *look around* , but it reminds me so much of Layo (which is what it is) that I do things the same.

I love this nwaid. Zork on steroids.

Thanks,

Etin

You can make custom macros for nwaid just as you would *nod* or whatever for layonara. *Look around* is an especially useful one. The mem commands let you store stuff without using a quickslot. The Mem0-Mem9 slots are not related to quickslots at all. To repeat the last thing you said type "mem4" then whatever you typed last is stored in memory slot 4. To speak whats in the slot type "
