////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// HOW TO USE THIS SYSTEM
// All you need to do to use this system is to place a generic trigger down and
// give it a unique tag.  Make sure you remember the name of the tag as you will
// need it to set up the proper text to be shown to the PC.  For tag naming
// conventions on the triggers, I suggest using the area tag and a number like
// 001 with the number increasing for each successive flavor text trigger.
//
// Under the scripts section of the tag, put this in the onenter event:
// vg_flavor_txt
//
// After laying the trigger and noting the tag, open the properties of the area
// by right clicking the area and going to properties.  Go to the advanced tab
// and click the button that says 'variables'.  Make a new variable and set its
// name to the actual tag of your trigger.
//
// Make sure the variable is set as a string and then in the last field of the
// variable put in the text you want shown to the PC.
//
// You can also change the color of the flavor text using the following color
// designators
/*
//Color used by saving throws.
const string COLOR_BLUE         = "<cf��>";

//Color used for electric damage.
const string COLOR_DARK_BLUE    = "<c f�>";

//Color used for negative damage.
const string COLOR_GRAY         = "<c™™™>";

//Color used for acid damage.
const string COLOR_GREEN        = "<c � >";

//Color used for the player's name, and cold damage.
const string COLOR_LIGHT_BLUE   = "<c™��>";

//Color used for system messages.
const string COLOR_LIGHT_GRAY   = "<c���>";

//Color used for sonic damage.
const string COLOR_LIGHT_ORANGE = "<c�™ >";

//Color used for a target's name.
const string COLOR_LIGHT_PURPLE = "<c�™�>";

//Color used for attack rolls and physical damage.
const string COLOR_ORANGE       = "<c�f >";

//Color used for spell casts, as well as magic damage.
const string COLOR_PURPLE       = "<c�w�>";

//Color used for fire damage.
const string COLOR_RED          = "<c�  >";

//Color used for positive damage.
const string COLOR_WHITE        = "<c���>";

//Color used for healing, and sent messages.
const string COLOR_YELLOW       = "<c�� >";
*/
void main()
{
object oEnterer = GetEnteringObject();
object oArea = GetArea(OBJECT_SELF);
string sPlayerID = GetPCPlayerName(oEnterer) + GetName(oEnterer);
string sTrigTag = GetTag(OBJECT_SELF);
int bSeenOnce = GetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF, sPlayerID+"SeenOnce");

string sString = GetLocalString(oArea,sTrigTag);

if (GetIsPC(oEnterer) == TRUE && bSeenOnce == FALSE)
    {
    //Play sound
    //AssignCommand(oEnterer, PlaySound("gui_spell_mem"));
    AssignCommand(oEnterer, PlaySound("as_cv_flute2"));
    //Send message to Player.
    AssignCommand(oEnterer, SendMessageToPC(oEnterer,sString));
    //Flag the player as having seen the message.
    SetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF, sPlayerID+"SeenOnce", TRUE);

Description

This handy little script allows the module builder to add unlimited amounts of flavor text to their module with only one script handling it all.

This code is very short, yet powerful. All "textual information" is handled as strings pulled off the area object. Full instructions are given in the code itself.
