Rooms

Within regions you can also define rooms, which are basically 'sub-regions' that exist inside the area which may represent buildings within a town or a boss room within a dungeon. Accessing rooms in scripts can be accomplished using the ROOM reference from a character, item or map point object, or the ROOM.room_id reference from the server object. The following table details the various properties of the room object in SphereServer:

Here is a list of all room properties and functions. If a function is marked as readable then it can return a value when used as <KEY>.
