Darkhole Race commands

[Vern Kron]

As it currently stands, when the darkhole race is held, gm's have to manually go through the land dropping flowers, anchoring them, and guiding the lines out for players. Technically they do not really have to, but it is a nice touch. However, afterwards, they are also required to linger around and delete said flowers.

My proposal is this: A gm command, say !darkholerace that spawns the flowers in the proper locations, and another command !darkholedone that deletes the items on these tiles.

Also, to help make this process go faster, I wrote down all the coordinates.

Item 767 is the flower traditionally used. Thank you for your time and consideration on the topic.

!bla commands are written in the server code. Not good to do it there. But we also have GM tools that are written in lua. Those can be used for that.

If that is a help for the GMs, I see no reason to object. Just make sure to include save checks to ensure that there is no trying to place blossoms on non existing fields.

Sounds like an interesting idea to look into it. I placed all the items like flowers and stage permanently because I got tired of adding and removing them each time. With a script, they could be added and removed within seconds. Questions is also how long it would take to write a script that works as supposed.

Questions is also how long it would take to write a script that works as supposed.

Since all the annoying work (collecting the locations) is already done, I would expect this script do be done within 5 minutes.
Including the documentation of the source code, and running the tests that it works.
Excluding checking the entire path for the correct placement.

It is also a nice small function for anyone who wants to try to get started with scripting.
