Yeah, but only to a certain extent. When I first saw four Spyros buried right next to each other, I laughed hard, but the second time it wasn't all that funny anymore, and the third time it actually was annoying. Maybe setting states would help?

That's what I meant! I mean, there's a person buried in one grave, and the same person buried in another grave!
@Purple: Like I said, having set messages would simplify things a lot. And stuff wouldn't change between visits to Bishopia.

With some advanced scripting it could be fixed. But right now finding the grammar and spelling errors in addition to wrong message displaying (such as the ending of messages - no randomization error btw purple).

Hummmm.....Maybe we should just give it a quick fix (for example, giving each gravestone its own message), and work on other grammar glitches in the meantime. When that happens, we fix the gravestones.

We'll need at least 50 different gravestone objects for that.

When bgbirdsey gets the global object repository thingy done and working, you could just have different
messages instead of fifty whole gravestone items.
Depending on how he does that part for unique things.

Or.. we make gravestones send messages according to their content. This would make a gravestone ALWAYS show the same message (but not the same as the one next to it). Nothing is randomized.

I don't really get it.
What is sending messages according to content?
How does it work?
I mean, besides what it does, you said that part.
