I've been trying to figure out a way to create a verb that will make a specific box that isn't a part of the main skin appear. Is there a way to do this?
This is why we love DM Reference, look up winshow() :)

Ah, but I've tried this and with little luck.
What I'm attempting to do is create a simple box to open for admin chat.

Admin_Chat_Open()
set category = "Admin"
winshow("usr", "adminchat", "show=1")


No errors, but no box to be seen.

Er... no string for the first argument... I mean, usr itself is a reference to a mob type while "usr" is a string saying... usr...

mob/verb/Tell()
world << usr // will tell the usr, currently defined as the person who called this verb
world << "usr"
See what happened?

The only thing that should be a string is the 2nd argument, the 3rd argument (show=1) is suppose to be a number... in the reference, it is stating that it is default as 1

winshow(Ref,"ID",1)  // 1 = Show
winshow(Ref,"ID") // Shows the element 'ID' since the default is 1
winshow(Ref,"ID",0) // Hides ID
winshow(Ref,"ID","Xasas" // Shows element, as the DM Ref says, only 0, not "0" but 0, will be able to hide the element
