Parameters
| Parameter / value | Description |
|---|---|
obj |
The object whose shape is to be used to determine what shape from 'GUMPS.VGA' is to be shown. This association is currently hard-coded (as of 2009/02/27): if the shape of the supplied object is equal to 797, a scroll gump will be displayed; otherwise, a book gump will be displayed. |
SI SPECIFIC
There is one additional shape which displays a scroll gump: shape 707. This shape, and shape 705 (serpentine book), will both display text using serpentine characters; if the avatar's 'READ' flag is set, any serpentine runes will be translated into normal runes.
