serverstrings...

... lag. If you have too many, they slow down a server, as you all know. So what I'm suggesting is:

On-request server strings.

Basically, the way I see it, the only situation in which they'd lag is if they go everywhere with the player, whether or not they need them. So I propose the next Graal version have on-request server flags, meaning that a server string is not provided until a NPC asks for it. Say, the command readserverstr flagname which would output the serverflag to #o, kinda like tokenize outputs the string you tokenized to #t(index). For example:

NPC Code:

---

...

if (weaponfired){

message Radio on;

sleep 1;

readserverstr server.radio;

setplayerprop #c,#o;

}

...

How about it? Cuts down on lagginess and is just as functional.
