Set Terrain Following Mode

General-Use Movement Setting
Usage: set terrain following mode <on|off>

Sets whether you will attempt to follow terrain when moving.  Having terrain following mode on means, for example, that if you are on a hill, with a forest to the north, so that
the room directly to your north is the treetops of the forest and the 'northdown' room is the forest floor, a move 'north' will be turned into a 'northdown' move.

Your movement will only be changed toward the up and down directions by terrain following.  Terrain following is not limited to following the ground; in general, you will try to
stay in terrain that has the same general accessibility as that you are in.  So if you are flying in open air, and there are treetops to the south, trying to move south will
result in your moving 'southup' to stay in the open air.

If the upward and downward movement options are equally good, you will always prefer to move downward.

Terrain following can always be prevented for an individual move, or an entire use of the 'go' command, by specifying the command as an override.
