I have this:

Code:

This is slingobjectxyz, a small wood weapon, weighing
approximately 1 lbs.  The weapon is a sling.  It is of poor quality and is
worth approximately 1 silver.

Code:

A smooth stone suitable for a sling is here.
This small-sized stone stone is for use with a sling.

..and get this:

Code:

> reload
You can't do that.

EDIT: I'm assuming this is because I haven't trained the skill yet. I was just curious if crossbow/bow work like this as well. You could previously attempted to use them and launch ammo with them even without the skill trained. I just noticed I can't even throw the sling stones with the skill untrained.

EDIT2: Are there even any trainers for this yet?

I found a help file!

[Skills help] sling

Syntax: throw <object> <target>
Syntax: shoot <target>

A sling is a projectile weapon that has a small cradle in the middle of two
lengths of cord. It is used to throw a blunt missile such as a stone. The
sling skill is used whenever a stone is used as a weapon, regardless of
whether it is shot from a sling or thrown by hand.

Sling stones can be purchased or found in the ground by using dig.

Both 'shoot' and 'reload' give error messages.

Please have patience. When it comes to adding new skills and item types to the game, it may take a day or two for things to come up to speed. That first sling had an incorrect object setting. It should be fixed now.

Thanks. I'll give it a try tonight.

I'm still having problems with this.

I haven't figured out how to use the sling rather than just throw rocks.

Should be fixed now. Some items were built incorrectly. :-?
