Area repop message
Since the change to a message over the whole area, is there still away to code one by room?

Re: Area repop message
I think you can code an invis mobile to do a room echo, like they used to do for the sounding of the hours in the temple of Waterdeep. So you would have the mobile coded to tick down a room echo or an area echo for that room and then place the invis mobile in a secret noastral room.
Justice is not neccesarily honourable, it is a tolerable business, in essence you tolerate honour until it impedes justice, then you do what is right.

Yes, one idea is a so-called gossip mobile (Lath'lain uses these often in his areas) which would either remain in one room or wander between a few rooms; it would have either a greet_prog or a rand_prog to give an echo to a particular room or set of rooms.
Another idea is a greet_prog or rand_prog in the room (you don't necessarily need to use a mobile just for that).

Re: Area repop message
Okay, thank you. What about a 'curtain' style exit such as with Olmhazan's Jewels. Is it a 'closed door' without the 'is a door flag', or?

Re: Area repop message
It is a closed door (EX_ISDOOR|EX_CLOSED|EX_NOMOB), but there is an invisible mobile in Waterdeep called, of course, the WaterdeepCurtainDoorMob. This mobile is on both sides of every curtain door in Waterdeep and so he has an intercept program to open the curtain and then a greet program to close it behind you.

Re: Area repop message
I've been trying to figure that out so hard. What a clever way to do things.

Re: Area repop message
This sounds like something I have been looking for.
How could such a "gossip-mob" look like in code?
Thanks
