For example, if you see a coin on the ground and you want to pick it up you can type "get coin".
The verbs "get" and "take" work as synonyms, so if you were to type "take coin" it would have the same result.

Syntax

  • GET <item>
Retrieves the indicated item. The command may find an item on the ground, at your feet, or in an accessible container.
  • GET <item> FROM <container>
  • GET <item> IN <container>
Retrieves an item from the specified container.
  • GET <adjective> <item>
An adjective can distinguish similarly named items. It can also follow an ordinal.
  • GET <ordinal> <item>
Selects a particular matching item, such as GET SECOND POUCH. Ordinals through ELEVENTH are supported; higher ordinals are treated as ELEVENTH.
  • GET OTHER <item>
Selects the second matching item, equivalent to GET SECOND <item>.

Game Helpfile

The commands "get" and "take" let you pick up items.
Syntax: get [item]
For example, if you see a coin on the ground and you want to pick it up you can type "get coin".
The verbs "get" and "take" work as synonyms, so if you were to type "take coin" it would have the same result.

Notes

  • GET requires an empty hand. Some items or character states can impose additional restrictions.
  • TAKE is normally synonymous with GET for items, but it also has special uses for Empathic healing.
  • An item in the at-feet slot is part of the character's inventory rather than an ordinary room object. GET <ITEM> can retrieve it, but a similarly named room item may be selected first; LIFT or STOW can explicitly retrieve the at-feet item in that situation.
  • Trying to pick up an item that would exceed the character's inventory limit is refused and suggests INVENTORY CHECK.
