The reason word of recall (the force that recalls you) doesn't work on unholy ground is so that you can't cast word of recall, go into a shop, and get a bunch of unpaid stuff. I suppose the better fix is not to prevent the word of recall, but just strip any unpaid objects from the player and drop them back on the map. That said, I think no magic/no cleric spells are used too often in maps as 'hey, lets make it hard so you can't cast spells', which I don't think is an especially good map design. > > Nicolas > > _______________________________________________ > crossfire mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire _______________________________________________ crossfire mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
