@@ Changing descs for changing Places
@@ This works with any number of versions of "Places" code out there, including the SGP version.
@@
@@ What it allows you to do is create variable 'descs' in the room, based on what place any player

@@
@@ The key is setting the @succ attribute to be: @Succ here=[u(me/desc_place[match(get(me/PLACENUMS), *%#%b*, |)])]

@@ Set a desc_0 for the 'main room' (what you see when you're not at *any* place).

@Desc here=%r[space(5)]The second floor of the house is laid out in an open design like a studio loft. This house was clearly built many decades ago, but modernized fairly recently. A few of the more interesting architectural elements were salvaged in the redecoration.

&DESC_PLACE0 here=%r[space(5)]The central living area is focused around a small greyish-blue speckled granite fireplace. On the far side of the living area is a galley-sized kitchen featuring a breakfast nook with three chairs. Down the hall is a bedroom and down another hall is the bathroom. In the basement is a home gym.

@@ How to link places and +views
@@
@@ You can make your +views variable based on whether you're in a particular place, or not.
@@
@@ The main bit of code is using the function switch to determine if you're in the specific place:
@@ [switch(neq(match(u(placenums),*%#*,|),5),1,{Not in place desc},{Yes in place desc})]
@@
@@ In this example, you're checking if you're in place #5 (which has no relation to the place 5, above).
@@ This simulates entering and leaving a greenhouse, and what you see when being outside it,
@@ and then inside it. You would change '5' to be whatever place number you want to configure the view

@@ I worked this out all by myself, but, it's not really all that brilliant a concept. I do think it's a little

&VIEW_GLASSHOUSE here=[switch(neq(match(u(placenums),*%#*,|),5),1,{%r[space(5)]The exterior of this building is an aluminum frame supporting sheets of tempered glass. Moisture from inside the glasshouse has beaded into a fog on the glass making it impossible to see inside. Please enter the glasshouse ('join #5') to '+view' inside it.%r},{%r[space(5)]The interior is warm to the point of hot, and wet no matter what the weather is outside, almost assaulting to the senses. There's a cornucopia of smells, some bitter, some sweet, some heavy and cloying, other so light as to be barely noticed. This is an orderly green house. The wood chip floor covers raw dirt. Plants grow in neatly arranged raised rows of wood boxes. There seems to be a wide selection of everything: flowers, herbs, grasses, small trees, and representatives of every other sort. To one end is a small desk which holds several journals, probably for tracking growths and strains, and equipment for drying, harvesting, cross-pollinating, and other esoteric uses.%r})]
