22.1.1 MORTAL CREATION (USING OLC)

CREATE - Create something using OLC

The most powerful command in all of the online creation commands. This allows you to create all the things that you are currently permitted to.

You can see the number of things that you are allowed to create (the current status of your Orb of Creation) by probing your Orb. If you are allowed to create something, then it will tell you how many of each type of creation you are allowed to do, or if you are not, it will say so.

Just being allowed to create a number of things, does not actually mean you can start doing it. In the case of items and mobiles, you must also be granted permission to create a particular type of item or mobile, and in the case of rooms, you must be granted permission to create in a certain area.

Once you are given a certain number of creations and permission to create something you can do so by typing:

CREATE <thing>

...where <thing> is what you want to create, be it a room, a butterfly, a longsword, or a small pebble.

CREATE ROOM

will create a room in the area set to your orb's area and basename, and if you are capable of doing so, it will be done and you will be told the name of the newly created room (so you can GO to it if you like). In the case of items and mobiles, they will be placed in your inventory ready for you to deposit where you like.

NOTE: As a mortal builder, you must be in one of your created rooms in order to create any item.
