In-Dream Editing DS (2005-06-10) |
This DS provides a series of commands that allow for objects and floors to be placed dynamically
while you are in your dream. This allows in-dream editing and customization.

|
Shooting DS (2005-01-31) |
DS that allows you to shoot out an object in the direction you are facing, such that if it hits a furre,
they are sent to a specific location on your map. As this DS does not use the (5:1000) DS Effect, it does not
suffer from the bug introduced in the Squirrel update.

Basic Sign DS (2004-10-10) |

it displays a message to them.
For each sign in your dream, you need to include the above three lines of DS, with the following changes:

Grate DS (2004-10-10) |
This DragonSpeak allows you to place "grates" in your dream, such that any object that is dropped onto the
grate will vanish.
No changes are required to use this DS in your dream. Just add the DS, and place the grates (Floor 160). Note that there is a very important concept introduced here: In order to trigger DS when the furre drops any object, one needs to use the (0:17) when they pick up object 0. When a furre is holding "nothing" they are actually holding object 0. As a result, when they pick up object 0, they are dropping any other object they are holding. | |||||||||

Random Number DS (2004-10-12) |
This DragonSpeak illustrates how to generate a random number. It also shows how to emit the contents of a variable
as part of a string.
This example generates a random number between 1 and 10. To create a random number between 0 and 10, you would change the number of sides to 11, and the minus value to 1. To create a random number with a positive offset, use the (5:312) effect, or specify a negative number for the minus value. Note that a space was included after the variable and before the closing }. Any time a variable is printed as the last item in a string, this space must be included. If the space is not included, the emit would appear as:
Instead of the expected:
This is due to a known bug in the Furcadia Client version 21, where the variable name is parsed as being %YourNumber}, instead of %YourNumber. | |||||||||
|
Hop DS (2004-10-13) |
This DragonSpeak allows the owner of the dream to move themselves an arbitary number of steps in the direction
that they are facing.
No changes are required to use this DS in your dream. If you wish any furre to be able to use this command, remove the (1:11) lines from the above DS. | |||||||||
|
Push DS (2004-10-15) |
This DragonSpeak allows the owner of the dream to push another furre who is standing directly in front of them
an arbitary number of steps in the direction that they are facing. This is a slight variation on the Hop DS above.
No changes are required to use this DS in your dream. If you wish any furre to be able to use this command, remove the (1:11) lines from the above DS. | |||||||||
|
Info DS (2004-10-13) |
This DragonSpeak emits information about the current location of a furre when they say "Info".
This example also illustrates how to display the x and y components of a variable, and will print the following:
Note that to print a trailing period directly after a variable, three periods are required. | |||||||||
