NPC talk to a #channel

[rayn]

Anyone know if it is possible to have a script talk to a #channel?

 

Something similar to 'message' script command but instead of targeting a char name, it goes to #main, for example. This way, players can filter out these messages if they leave the channel.

Hmm.. anyone? This would be a great feature. Perhaps "message" script command can be modified to accept input from a NPC instead of just players.

Hello,

 

Is there any way to automate a player sending a message to a channel? Like: Once a player enter a specific map a message will automatically send to a certain channel.
