Player Alerts?

Post by Alisandra » Wed Oct 01, 2003 5:04 pm

Is there a way of having an alert for /any/ player within a certain radius? ie:

Code: Select all

/alert add 1 pc radius 500
The above doesnt work since it wants a name of some sort to watch for. Is there another way of achieving the desired affect without resorting to /target every xx seconds? Thanks!

I think Plazmic has something up his sleeve that will cover what you want. Wait a couple days for his new changes to be pushed to the anon cvs and zip files.

Do you mean the $alert(#,id) changes mentioned in the dev forums? I'm not quite sure how that will help? Thanks.

No, I mean that Plazmic has been rewriting the way that some of the commands accept parameters and expanded their functionality. I believe one of those was the /alert list and filtering.
