${Currentzone.Spawns}

Post by Chill » Tue May 25, 2004 6:49 pm

My first question, are there any variables to tell how many players/mobs/spawns are in a zone?

If not, would it be possible to add environment variables giving this information?

I can think of lots of uses for this, stepping through spawns with .next, seeing if anyone else is in a zone, etc.

Well when you do a:

/w npc

It'll return all the NPC's and a number at the end.

That's about as far as my knowledge goes with that one.

If that is the stupidest question you've ever heard, you must live in a box and never hear anyone speak.

It is a great question actually. It would be nice to know how many PCs/NPCs are in a zone quickly, rather than having to wait for /who npc to finish scrolling.
