SYNOPSIS

int set_light(int n)

DESCRIPTION

An object is by default dark. It can be set to not dark by calling set_light(1). The environment will then also get this light. The returned value is the total number of lights in this room. So if you call set_light(0) it will return the light level of the current object.

Note that the value of the argument is added to the light of the current object.

BUGS

This handling of light by the parser is inappropriate for most purposes: If you put a burning candle into a safe, the safe will start to emit light.
