Staff Command - Unveil was created by risin
I would like to add a command called "unveil" to my codebase, that would allow staff (builders namely) to "unveil" to a mortal level. I find that having to find a mob to "switch" to, to do testing, to be very cumbersome. Would anyone have experience with implementing a feature like this?

USAGE:

BuilderX is building out a trigger feature and wants to test it
BuilderX types in "unveil 28" to become a level 28 mortal
BuilderX likes the trigger and wants to return to their imm level they then type "unveil 32"

Again thank you for any and all help/advice!

We've had something similar in tba earlier. The commands are "set myname level 28", "restore myname", and then "cheat" to return to my own level.

github.com/tbamud/tbamud/blob/2f12752373...c/act.wizard.c#L1214 do_cheat() was once a longer switch, with several id's in it.

This is just one way of doing it - you might choose to make a new attribute on the player, "real_level" and allow changing the level if real_level >= level_immort.

So the actual stock usage for anyone interested is:

"set self level"

then you would use the

"return" command when you want to be restored :)
