Logout() has never worked for me. I put things in it and nothing happens. I could do something such as:

mob/Logout()
world << "[usr] left."

and it doesn't work! Please help! :(

Try this:
mob
   Logout()
     world << "[usr] has left! He says: Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
     del(src)
     ..()//I think this is what you were missing


-Sariat

PS, don't copy and paste this, the indention is wrong :)

Well, Logout doesn't have a usr so you can try:

mob/Logout()
    world<<"[src] has left!"//See src.

It's called after the user disconnects, so the user himself will not see the message. Other people in the world should, though.

In general, the server has no way of sending a message to the user just before he disconnects, since it might happen abruptly (ie- a cut connection). We could probably provide a provision to do so on manual disconnects (through the Quit or Logout options), though. I can't remember if there is a way to do that right now or not.
