Interesting idea bout making players type random string to prove not a bot or still at keyboard.

Is it possible to spawn an NPC from the player.pl? I'm not sure if its possible for a player to just say the random text without an NPC targetted.

Turning this unpopular afk script into a 0.1% trigger event would be a neat idea, to have an event. By looking at player flags the event could even be scaled to their tier.

Thanks for the ideas, and still looking for more

It's possible to check that from a script (I know Akkadius did it at one point), and as far as I know you can check player's text via player.pl. I haven't messed with perl in forever sadly, though there may be some player.pl examples scattered around. I'll see what I can dig up about that feature.

edit: this should work as player.pl:

sub EVENT_SAY {
$client->Message(13, "You have said something!");
if($text =~ /match/i)
{
$client->Message(13, "You have said something that matches!");
}
}
