Blah blah Blah blah blah." cant remember what exactly it was, but i remember it WAS NOT canned message. it had the name of the shop in the spoken message.i went home and tried it with %TT %tt tt% TT%i even did a // search to no avail (didnt really expect to find it in there anyway)edit:oh, also, i tried using the %TT on another player and it did work.Message Edited by LaurnaRose on 01-20-2005 05:09 PM
No we have had no word on this. It would really really really be helpful to find out the name of that shop.

My vendors Keep targeting other vendors in the Tent...... I'm thinking about writing up converations for them to have to amuse my guild members that walk by.... All 4 of my my vendors fighting with our Chef's vendors heheheheheh
that is something that somehow got added with publish 10 it seems (at least I never observed it prior to publish 10): vendors now have a habit of targetting each other and of targetting passing vehicles.
I done this in one of my tents i Have one vendor dressed in Marine armor and One Dressed as a stormtrooper they now argue with each other over Imperial Politics. (They also argue with passing speeder bikes so its not a perfect system)
Iused to have four vendors in the front, all female, doing something simlar, all dressed in skimpy outfits but one.
Human1(redheaded): "Greetings, noble one, I have the harvester you're needing! If it's a home you're looking for, see the witch over in the corner!"
Zabrak 1: "Hey, who are you calling a witch! Just because you're sleeping with the boss, you're not the queen--just a slave like the rest of us!"
Twilek 1: "Get over it honey, he dumped you for the redhead, like my used furniture."
Human 2: (only one dressed frumpy) (Earnestly) "Hssst! Not in front of the customers you two! Oh, hello, may I interest you in a swoop or speeder today?"
and if you got close enough to the wall, you'd hear the storage vendor in the back, Human 3: "(Whispers) Elizor is that you? I think she's suspcious of us, dear."
Ok, so it's silly and juvenile. But I got a lot of emails from people who got a kick out of it.
Nice! I wondered if anyone would make something like this in a shop!
OK, on topic now. Doc, is it possible that this feature was working at one time and has since been broken but still works if it was inplace? This would account for the lack of ability to do it now (tried this on a male and female version of each vendor the other day) and would also account for the reports of it working.

Err, I thought it was %NT?
Both %NT and %TT are valid variables. Neither work for vendors as far as I can tell.
I've never known anyone who had this work. Its always been broken as far as I know. The stories about it working are, frankly, difficult to believe.

The problem wth that is that SOE personnel insist it does work.

The problem is that we can't get the user variables like %TT to work in the custom ad barking. It is supposed to say the targets name but instead it just says %TT.
Reason SoE insist it works is it does work...you can %TT and you will say the targets name however it does not work for vendors. I think in the mass of pre-set barks one may say your name but i could be mistaken on that account. Im pretty sure the vendor doesnt technically "target" you while its barking so the player command of %TT couldnt work. If there is a command for vendors to do this we are...barking..up the wrong tree.
k well answerd my own question with %RT %NT %TT none work on ad barking but will work for player targets... hmm... is there a command for LAST target? i would assume the vendor recognizes you the second you walk up as it turns your direction as speaks but doesnt hold target. I dont know if there is a target at all like this other then space...id have to launch and look but you get a ton of target options you dont need on the ground but maybe the command would still work as its there such as...last target to attack player, last target player attacked ect. then youd still have to find the % command for it. Anyone looked in local files to see if you can find anything?
