We use the default.pl so players can hail any pet in any zone to use their own pet as a buff bot, and manage giving pet items, etc. Works pretty well, with npc < 1000 in the file etc.
For our Halloween Event we used default.pl and within it have if $zonesn eq "name" for killing random trash in certain zones to spawn Halloween Bosses, etc.
I did this way back when I had less exp. I'd probably do it different today. Yes, having a pet_name.pl file for each of the many pets would be a pain, but probably more efficient.
I still don't understand if the default.pl goes in /quest/ or /quest/templates/ or both? How is it handled? Seems to work the way I have it. Going to try to put the same script in both locations now. Thanks for help as Always Trevius.
