Room Scripts For Your Pserver

So you want to make a palace?
Ok, you started up your Pserver. Congratulations! You have a few rooms. But now you want to make your rooms interactive, and have no idea what to do? Add some cool scripts like the ones you've seen at other palaces. You can find some basic scripts here for beginners, and some tips on using them.

Where do I put these scripts? If you have to ask this you should probably think twice about making a palace. Ok we'll give you a hint. Room Scripts are put into doors you create in a palace room. Go to the wizard menu and select New Door. On PC first select authoring mode. Then New Door will be active. Make the Door, then double click the door and select the edit script button. Copy a script from this page and paste it into the door. Cool you're all set! 

The following are the most requested palace scripts. Have fun with them. Edit them to your liking.

ON SELECT { "soundname" sound }

Tip: to send a sound from the server, the sounds must be in your server's media folder (same folder as the the background gifs for your palace).  This script can also be used ON ENTER.

How to get prop IDs?  
Put the following script in your cyborg file ON OUTCHAT section.
Then restart palace client. Put on a prop and say dump, and look in your log. You can continuously dump props and then paste them all in from your log at one time, by using the dump script below.

Script for ON OUTCHAT section of your cyborg.ipt
;dump
{
"" CHATSTR =
"" ttosay =
{ " " topprop itoa + theprop =
theprop ttosay + ttosay =
mousepos dropprop

*Tip for On Select Scripts: Make the doors  "don't move here" they can also be set to normal.
This setting is in the door info.

*Safety Warning. Never have the same exact script in the same room twice. 
Never have the same type script ie. ON SELECT, ON ENTER, in the same door twice.
Both of these errors may crash your palace.
