Is there a Catid MervBot Plug-In that will send a player a private message containing text I set, when they are at a certain position. Ie. If they went through a tunnel the bot would PM them saying something like "You Are In Tunnel X1". If there isnt a MervBot plugin, is there anyone out there who would make one?

Thanks

Note that a bot can only see what a client could see. If you are speccing a player in particular location of a map, you don't get updates for players outside of a certain distance. If you map is small enough (like HZ), you can have the bot spec the center and it works fine. Otherwise you would need to do something like spec players in cycles to see where they are. If there are too many players, you may miss a player that passes a location quickly. Also, note that very rapidly speccing players in a cycle can drag the whole arena down. My best guess is that this is caused by the "send spec info on", "ack", "send spec info off", "ack" adding a lot of extra bandwidth to all players, although I have no proof.

I know there is a MervBot plugin that Warps players if they go within a square. Could you make a bot that would message a player if they went into a square instead?

you could probably use or modify the TM Mer plugin for MERVBot
