This is one way, but if you're a newbie, every chunk of code you don't have to write yourself helps:


@verb $room:tell_exits tnt
@program $room:tell_exits this none this
exit_list = {};
for x in (this.exits)
  if (x.obvious)
    exit_list = {@exit_list, x.name};
  endif
endfor
if (exit_list != {})
  player:notify(tostr("Obvious exits: ", $string_utils:english_list(exit_list)));
endif
.

Then:

put this after this:tell_contents(things); in $room:look_self  :

this:tell_exits();

(If $string_utils:enlish_list isn't on your moo, you may have to code something like that up.)

Hope that helps a little,
