==== Setting Up Exits: ====
This is largely just done through setting certain properties. Note, if you forget an exit's ID, @exits in a room will show you.

Here is exit #142, which appears in the room as:

The truly massive dome of District One is accessible via the western airlock ('''west''').

Looking at the properties of it with @show #142, we see the four I set, using '''''@set #exitID.property to "words here"''''':

long_description: "The truly massive dome of District One is accessible via %n."

begin_move_emote: "%N joins the queue waiting to depart through %t."

move_emote: "With a soft hiss of recycled air and a blast of UV decontamination, %N slips through %t."

arrive_emote: "%N steps through into the dome of District One."

How does this look in game?<blockquote>Silver joins the queue waiting to depart through the western airlock.

With a soft hiss of recycled air and a blast of UV decontamination, Silver slips through the western airlock.

District One - Southeastern Plaza

You can go east ('''east''') from here.

You can go north ('''north''').

Silver steps through into the dome of District One.

===== Pronoun Substitution =====
If you're writing exit messages, you're going to want to sub things in. For example, a standard exit message is "%N begins to move toward the %t."

'''''help $string_utils:pronoun_sub''''' has a list of all of the pronouns, which is pretty intense. A shorter guide:

===== Names =====
%N for the person doing the action (Like @ on old UD);

%t for the target of the action - the exit name, for example;

%d for the direct object - not likely to be used in exits but in some potential crafting messages;

%i for the indirect object - ditto as above;

%l for the location where the action was performed - fills in the room name, if for some reason you need that.

===== Pronouns =====
%s: subject; he/she/they

%o: object: him/her/them

%p: possessive, dependent: his/her/their.  I.e., it's his/her/their <object>

%q: possessive, independent: his/hers/theirs. I.e., "the <object> is his/hers/theirs."

%r: reflexive: himself/herself/themself
