Having problems with message search?
Tyler,
Not sure if anything has changed recently and I am at work so cannot really check, but as it stood there wasn't a way to do this prior. Rooms have a function (room.add_cmd()) that you can call to add a specific command to each room. If your mob is stationary or only teaches in this room it would be a good idea to use that. You could just put a simple check on the room command to make sure the mob is in the room first, and deny if not.
If your Mob wanders, than that is a different story. Without modifying the source code, you could just set up a self enter and self exit trigger on the mob, when these triggers are called, just have it call add_cmd() on the mobs current room, and then when it exits have it remove_cmd()..
Now the issue with this is I'm not sure how the command handler reacts if you have multiple. Maybe Geoff can bust in and answer this, or you can wait until I get home and check.. What happens if you have 2 mobs, each one defines a room command for "teach". The remove_cmd removes commands from the master table, so which teach would be removed? Unsure. Haven't tested it. :o)
It might not be an issue at all, and if you could get room.remove_cmd() in then it definitely wouldn't be. If you need to add to the source code, then you might as well modify the command handler and py* files to allow objects and chars to have commands added to them.

Hello,
I know it's possible to add a speech hook, but is it possible to add
something like "teach me *" and let the * be set for whatever it wants?
If not, how hard would it be to set a command on a mob?
All of this would be done via python, if that helps.
Thanks,
