Here are 11 new Listeners for the building community!
But first, what a Listener is, for the uninitiated: A Listener is a NPC who catches what a PC "says" when he uses the chat-bar. The string, which can be a word or a sentence, is then processed, and if it matches what the Listener has been set to listen for, a script will cause something or other to happen. The classic example is the Listener who opens a door when someone says "Open Sesame".
These Listeners have all been made to be as user-friendly as possible. Each of them can be configured via the Variables page in their properties, so there is NO requirement for the scripter to know ANY SCRIPTING whatsoever. If you can open the properties page of an NPC, then you can use these Listeners!
Included are Listeners that give you a complete Prayer System, a new Teleportation System, and even a Listener that allows PCs to kiss each other in Multiplayer or on a PW.
There is a demo, showcasing all the Listeners. Do try it out, because it will take you less than 10 minutes to check it all out.

Tested with 1.69, and it works just like it did before, if anyone is wondering. :) I have also considered making an update with the new module chat functions in 1.69, but I can't think of a way to make it as user-friendly as it is now, so I'm leaving it as it is. Have fun building!
