HS-CONSOLES

Consoles in HSpace allow players to interact with objects in HSpace. For example, a player on a ship may want to navigate that ship, so a navigation console could be created with a set of commands to allow the player to navigate the vessel.

In HSpace version 3.x and earlier, the navigation console was the "heart" of any vessel. In HSpace 4.0 this concept ceases to exist. It is the "ship object" which is the heart of the ship. All consoles on a ship then belong to that ship object (a MUSH object).

Any HSpace console can use any of the @nav, @eng, and @console commands, thus allowing you to derive many types of consoles from navigation to engineering and so on.

Consoles possess an added ability to make administration and development of MUSH tools easier. Most @space commands will work on consoles as if those consoles were the ship. For example, using the @space/set command requires that the ship object be specified, but any console on the ship can serve in its place.
