Readable objects

A readable object shows pages of text when a player uses it: a ledger, a note pinned to a door, a memorial plaque. Usable objects can show pages too.

The New object editor on its Contents tab, with one page of text

  1. In NPCs & objects, choose Add object.
  2. On Basics, give it a Name and set Type to Readable.
  3. On Look, choose Other ways and browse models, for example book or scroll.
  4. On Contents, choose Add page and write the text. Add as many pages as you need; using the object shows the first page, and the player turns to the next.
  5. On Placement, add a spawn so it appears in the world.
  6. Choose Done.

Use Up and Down to reorder pages and Remove to delete one.

After you apply the quest to your test server, the .reload page_text command in Test in game loads new pages without a restart. A new object itself appears only after a server restart.
