EQEmulator Forums - Make an NPC use OOC or Auction

I wanted my buffing NPC's in East Commons to use ooc and advertise like a real player. I couldn't figure out how to do that so i make the player think they are seeing OOC text. It's basically messages sent to the client in the format of a PC OOC. This is from my global.pl file

Code:

sub EVENT_ENTERZONE { 

        if($zoneid == 22 ) 

        {

                quest::settimer("syal",390);

                quest::settimer("garren",400);

                quest::settimer("sweet",410);

                quest::settimer("mezzum",420);

                #quest::settimer("avienda",270);

                

        }

}

sub EVENT_TIMER {

        if ($timer eq "syal") 

        {

                $client->Message(2, "Syal says out of character, 'Casting Shammy buffs for donation near the magus'");

        }

        if ($timer eq "garren") 

        {

                $client->Message(2, "Garren says out of character, 'Cleric for hire!  Castin Aego line buffs for donations near shady.");

        }

        if ($timer eq "sweet") 

        {

                $client->Message(2, "Sweet Leaf says out of character, 'Do you need Damage Shields?  Come by Commander Farang because I need donations.'");

        }

        if ($timer eq "mezzum") 

        {

                $client->Message(2, "Mezzum says out of character, 'Casting crack and haste in the tunnel'");

        }

        if ($timer eq "avienda") 

        {

                $client->Message(2, "Avienda says out of character, 'Selling everything on me!  I'm on the crate near banker Cogswell.  Come inspect and make an offer!'");

        }

 

 }
