This would need to work for both PC bartenders and NPC ones.
note that the NPC one would mostlikely be called from ANOTHER script (when you ask a bartender for a drink, that would invoke a script for him to serve you and that script would call the drink prepare script somehow, probably through the bar object)
QUOTE FROM tool:
I'm prolly gonna get toaded for askin' this...I can feel it..things of the past weren't meant to be brought back up
you say more than a prepare message...meaning what exactly? A script that gives a -more- detailed description of how the drink is fixed? :::: Like forcing Jack to bend down and grab a dusty bottle of wine. Forcing jack to pop the cork wtih his thumb.Sending a message to all that the cork flies through the bar as a trail of bubbly follow.Forcing Jack to pour the wine into a glass and set it on the bar before taking a swig directly from the bottle:::: Or do you want something comepletly different? Like righting a script that has the player bartender (Jack in this case) do everything like prepare the drink give the drink to someone tell them how much...wait for money to be given to him and then slot it in the bar?
Give a Tool a purpose and it'll pound away.

.prepare "You turn around and grab a bottle from the deeps of the freezer and as it gets out a white layer of ice forms on it. Opening it you can feel the strong alcoholic scent as you pour it into a small shot glass."
.oprepare "%N turns around and grabs a bottle from the deeps of the freezer and as it gets out a white layer of ice forms on it. %S opens it and grabs a small shot glass, pouring the almost pasty liquid into it."
.oprepare "%N leans and grabs a bottle and a small shot glass from under the bar and quickly pours some of its liquid on it an a bit over the counter."
.prepare "You lean and grab a bottle from and a small shot glass under the bar and quickly pour some of its cheap liquid on it spilling some over the counter."
To be continued....
I have a bunch of ideas but will wait for feedback before posting actual scripts.
Admittedly, I was thinking of Rychek having a -very- bad day, or at least .. red in general but ..
Heh, customer service is not exactly top priority, especially on red, now is it? �;)
