Is there a way to toggle all objects off at the same time with Merv? If I had 20+ objects on, it would be nice to not have to turn each off one at a time. And if this can be done, can it be sent to a single person rather than the whole public?

Best way would be to sendPrivate an "*objset"

I think there's a better way where you send out an objset packet, rather than the chat packet containing the text "*objset ...".

Yup, use the queue_enable and queue_disable functions. If it doesn't do it automatically, you'll also need to do toggle_objects to dump the buffer.

I use the toggle_objects already (btw all that does is make the bot group things into a *objset). What I want to do is turn off all the objects that are on for a person without having to remember which ones are on.

not always. If the bot has less than sysop, then yes, it sends a chat message. If it has sysop, it will call generateObjectToggle in clientprot.cpp which sends a binary packet out with the object data in it.

Code: Show/Hide

case EVENT_ToggleObjects:
   {
      objectInfo *objects = (objectInfo *)event.p[0];
      int num_objects = *(int*)&event.p[1];
      int player_id = *(int*)&event.p[2];

      if (num_objects < 0)
         break;

      if (h->hasSysOp)
      {
         h->postRR(generateObjectToggle(player_id, objects, num_objects));
      }
      else
      {
         String s;

         s += "*objset ";
