See previous page for instructions on obtaining the prop ids. Also for the above script to work properly, make sure the sound Pop is in your server's media folder, and spelled exactly like the one in the script.
Important Tips for maintaining your prop generator:
After some time you will `flushprops on your server, how often depends of the number of visitors and the props cached. The props in your generator may stop working after a time. To make sure this never happens, take precaution. Make a few hidden rooms, make the rooms `wizardsonly on. Ok now the fun part...Place each prop piece that is part of your generator in these rooms. An easy way is using the dump script. The next time you're ready to flush the server props, go through these rooms so your client caches them. Ok now it's safe to `purgeprops.
If you are on the latest server build your props will not get flushed from the hidden rooms, so there is no need to go through each room when you flushprops. Just flush your props when necessary and your all set.
