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 [[Characters|character]], [[Items|item]] or [[Map Points|map point]] object, or the AREA.region_id reference from the [[Server|server]] object. The following tables detail the various properties of the region object in SphereServer:

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.

Areas in the world, such as dungeons and cities are defined by regions. Regions are constructed from one or more "rectangles" on the map.


The basic syntax for definining a region is as follows:


[AREADEF defname]
RECT=left, top, right, bottom, map
RECT=left, top, right, bottom, map
RECT=left, top, right, bottom, map


Properties

Within the region definition the following properties are also available to customise the behaviour of the area.

Name Read/Write Description
ANNOUNCE RW Gets or sets whether or not there will be an announcement when someone enters or exits the region.
ARENA RW Gets or sets whether or not the region is considered to be an arena.
BUILDABLE RW Gets or sets whether or not players can place buildings and ships in the region.
