"You're Too Far Away!" MUSHClient plugin

[Pixie]

Super tired of trying to hand things to people/NPCs, only to find that they're too far away?! ME TOO!

Lets say you want to hand a bottle of rum to your servant Bill, but oh no! He's halfway across the room! Simply enter "give rum Bill" from any distance, and the plugin will know that you're too far away from him, approach him for you, and hand him the item when you've gotten close enough.

This plugin does not support combat situations of any kind.

Do "save as" and enter "TooFarAway.xml". Close it. Place the file into the plugins folder.

Open up TI in MUSHclient. Go up to File -> Plugins. Click add, locate the plugin and open. The ToFarAway plugin should now be listed there. Highlight it and install/enable.

Using the Plugin: You don't have to do anything special to use it. Just try to hand something to someone that's too far away, and watch it work!

*serenades the Pixie*

Have I told you lately

That I love you!

[Silrie]

Hmmm, this works really great when you're too far away, but if you're close enough, it won't let you give anything over.

[Pixie]

Fixing! Will post this evening with the updated script.

[Pixie]

A billion years later, fixed the plugin. Just edited the main post above, so the instructions still stand.

I am in love!!

Lord bless!
