Entering World vs. Entering Zone
 

Using templates\player.pl as a test bed.

Does not show on my character's screen when first entering world, only upon zoning. Possible that it does not fire this event at all.

Is it possible the shout is happening before the character's client is monitoring chat channels? Have you tried setting the script to set a timer, say 10 seconds, and doing the shout when the timer hits?

actualy its "working as coded".
In the wiki this is exactly how this comand described with note of "the player will NOT see this effect cuase he will be zoning at this time" :D

Yeah, turns out it varies whether or not it fires before or after zone. Thanks for looking into it.
