Function to set status?

[jeardoebj]

Greetings,

I was wondering if there was some sort of quest:: function to set a players status? I want to be able to disable certain commands in zones, but am certain there is not way to set access levels for commands per zones, so I'm contemplating creating a quest that will disable someones status while they are flagged for certain zones, and then reenabling them and removing their zone flags after they speak with the npc again, this way I can keep elements of surprises in certain zones and keep them challenging without taking away a command permanently.
