Areas in the world, such as dungeons and cities are defined by regions. Accessing regions in scripts can be accomplished using the REGION reference from a character, item or map point object, or the AREA.region_id reference from the server object. The following tables detail the various properties of the region object in SphereServer:

References

References return pointers to other objects (e.g. the CHAR.n reference allows you to access the characters that are attached to the account). These can either be accessed by using <REFNAME> to return the UID (1 for object types that don't have UIDs) of the object or 0 if it doesn't exist, or by using <REFNAME.KEY> where KEY is a valid property/function/reference for the REFNAME object. Click on the name for more detailed information such as usage and examples.

Name Read/Write Description
REGION R For regions linked to a multi, gets the region that contains the multi region. Only valid for reading values.


Properties and Functions

Here is a list of all region properties and functions. If a function is marked as readable then it can return a value when used as <KEY>. Click on the name for more detailed information such as usage and examples. If an attempt is made to execute (not read) a command that does not exist on the region, then the command will be called on all sectors that touch the region area.
