[Database]A very interesting find.

[Skifa]

Did not really knew where to post this, so I figured just here in the general thing.

While I was bored I decided to browse trough the npc_monstersay table from my ArcEmu database.
And I find something maybe very interesting for some people.

So I was thinking.. well what does this all mean?
So I tested it.

If you see the picture I first tried it with a male character and it said boy, then I tryd it with a female character and it did NOT work, so I rebooted my server and tried it again and this time it worked.

Now as you can see it scans if you are a male/female as prints the thing you put it as variable.
But(I guess it just depends on your repack shizzle) this will only work 1 time per server session, meaning that when you spawn the mob it will scan 1 time if ur male or female and pritn the variable, but when you try it again it doesnt say the variable, yes I tried respawning, different mobs, different zones, account, characters, you name it!
So basically it will just repeat it once per server session.

Now, for the most of you it won't mean shit, but for some people this has many great uses in making quests/gossip scripts and things.

I believe it works like this: $g Maletext;Femaletext;
(Male/Female) (You MUST have the ; after each line if the text)

Atleast from what I make up from it.


I hope I helped some people with this.

EDIT: Little clarification:
RIght now we have $r (race), $c (class) and $n (name) when making quests or some shizzle, but now for the first time I see the $g x;x; wich maybe gives some more to play with.
Maybe everbody already knew about this and used it for ages, but it's new to me and never saw somebody using it for custom quests or some kind of gossip script.

This was a event made by someone from here... or WoW-v :P
So it's not basic npc of WoW

I may have misunderstood this thread, but isn't it pretty obvious? It checks what to be run on SPAWN (?) (i.e interact text?) and then there is no reason to run it again.

I may be totally wrong, I barely know anything about EMU.

No it's not.
You can check for yourself, spawn a Citizen of Havenshire or ''Dirty'' Larry or something and see for yourself.
For further reference, I have 0 downloaded scripts from WoW-V or any sites for that kind.

Also those npc's are in the blizzard database aswell, you can check on retail and go to their spawns and check the text.
But basicly the find I did was the thing that is doing it the $g x;x; so other people can use it aswell.
