The trigger system has been fully implemented, as well as a few other tweaks as the occasional thought came to mind. Multiple rooms are now fully functional, mostly as a way to test the triggers. Although there are still no real generation algorithms, a utility for creating door pairs between given rooms is included in the scripts directory. Other changes in this merge include: * Network updates via lua * Entity types can be determined in lua * Database columns are now order independant It should be noted that only two types of userdata will work as far as entity names are concerned: Characters and Monsters. I tried getting it to work for all objects passed to lua, but it proved to be too obtuse. In theory, I could create a teleport puzzle using what I've written here. That might be a side project, or a way to test saving & loading systems. I don't see any reason to delay monsters any longer; hopefully, I can get them going soon too.
