GMSay for quests

[Secrets]

Here it is. Requested by Trevius, it sends a message to GMSay in a quest command.


Use:

gmsay("string");

Output:

Zserver GMSAYS, 'string'

Simple and sweet. Thanks, Secrets!

Ultimately, wouldn't it make more sense to have a generic quest::msgchannel() (or the like) that could send a message to any channel id instead of hardcoding it for gm speak?

Probably. I don't see the purpose of it, though, as most of the other channels can be messaged with worldemote.
