Thanks Karma, yes I am playing around with box sizes and tolerances (haven't done anything to Arreat yet, just Keeps). If you can use Portal Hashes, I would suggest doing that as opposed to Objects (except portal stones which seem to be a little whacky with their portal hashes and just force your character to TP to town).
The portal hashes can be used to make VERY long walk to calls. So say you found the door, then died right before you could enter it. When you spawn, it will already know where the portal hash is and can walk from the entrance to the exit portal, rather than re-exploring again to find the object. Also works for dungeons where the doors change at random (Fields of Misery dungeons for instance).
how do you get the hash for something? Sorry i'm very new...to DB and even newer to scripting. is it in the same line that gives the actorSNO in demonbuddy? like dump objects or?
