This snippet would allow normal players to select if they want to become a human or an orc when they login. The key "Android Data" becomes an android, and the BYOND Moderators (listed in the byond_moderators list) become BYOND Moderators.

This snippet would allow normal players to select if they want to become a human or an orc when they login. The key "Android Data" becomes an android, and the BYOND Moderators (listed in the byond_moderators list) become BYOND Moderators.

Thanks alot, that helped. One more question, when they are being created how would i set their key to a list. AND another question, is there any built-in variable for making their character names? or would i need a library?
