No other command will show you this door. (You can however try going north and if the secret is closed it will say The secret is closed, I am working on this at the moment). But scan, exits, autoexits, and look in direction all do not show secret doors (even if they are open). All you need to do is put checks in all the related functions: If the exit is flagged as TYPE_SECRET, 'do not print anything' or whatever you get the idea. Now define an AFF_DETECT_SECRET (or just use a spell) and add checks in look_at_room for your "you discover..." message. (this is where I put it, there is probably other places, the downside to my way is that the player can keep looking at the room to see the secret door so adding a percent chance of not seeing the secret(failure) is useless. good luck, CHuck +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
