Exits

*This article is about connections between rooms. For info on the spell, see Ninja.
Exits are connections between rooms in the game. They are used with the directional commands (north, up, sw, etc).
Portal objects simulate room exits, but have to be 'enter'ed, and have other rules too.
===Finding Exits===
When entering a room, the game will show you a list of all non-hidden exits. Exits with doors have those direction names enclosed in [brackets]. This happens even if the room is too dark to see in.
The 'exits' command will also show non-hidden exits, as well as the names of the rooms they lead to (assuming they are not too dark to see into). Typing 'exits auto' will give the concise version seen with room descs.
===Using Exits===
Normal room exits are traversed by simply typing the direction you wish to travel. Some exits have restrictions on who can travel through them (see exit flags below), and most characters cannot travel through closed doors.
Some ROOMS also have restrictions on who can enter them, independent of the exits.
Using an exit will cause the player to lose some Movement Points, depending mostly on the Sectors of the rooms the player is moving between.
====Exits with Keywords====
Exits can be made to simulate Portals as well if they have a keyword set. In this case, both typing the direction and 'enter (keyword)' will work.
Syntax (within REDIT): (direction) keyword "(keywords)"
*An exit can have multiple keywords if they are all enclosed with double quotes
====Exits with Names====
Exits with a door will, by default, refer to it as "the door" when characters open or close it. Builders can change this to whatever they like, such as 'a gate' or 'the hatch'.
Syntax (within REDIT): (direction) description "(name)"
*You must surround the name with double quotes
