Item spawning npc's

For an npc to respawn if the zone/world has been shutdown it needs to have spawn entries in the spawn tables. What one scenario may be is that these npc's you're talking about do spawn when the zone comes up, but thier script looks for a global variable and if it doesn't find it they immediatly quest::depop. When the player spawns them with the item, the global is created and the script doesn't despawn them anymore. Just my best guess on that part... not certain how the token spawning would work. Maybe the token had a custom spell on it?

Another way that doesn't require spawn table entries is that an npc that does have them has a script that checks for globals and spawns the npc that the token "created". It all sounds very custom. With a little work you could probably duplicate what you describe if you are unable to reach the original authors.

i think this was the guildwars 2.0 server so im not 100% sure who the authors were. had thought it was devnoob and image but havent seen dev in ages and im not sure that image still lurks around here or not after the whole login thing i will have to try and get ahold of them see if they can maybe shed some light on this. would be a great boon to some of us custom server builders.
