Ok, I have a question. First let me set the scene:
You are deep in a cave hunting and come across a mountain. You can see the other side and see the gates of a town but no way to get there.
Along the way you had read several signs and put all the clues together... there is a way to open the path to this town. There are seven tiles
in this large area with seven basins behind them where seven items must be placed. On each tile a player must stand for 10 minutes, and not die,
and must have the required item on the basin behind them while killing the guadian monsters who are there to steal those items. At 8 minutes you
see a message. Same at 9 and 10 minutes. At 10m15s the question comes to light.(one of them anyway)
Say I wanted to make a portion of that mountain disappear. I realize it would require a server restart and a second (copied and edited) map but is
it possible to make a script, or set of scripts, that would:
I've seen similar things done on two other games(one using PHP and the other Python) but was wanting to know if it was even possible in OT using LUA.
It would be a one-time deal then never called on again since the activating tiles and respective basins would no longer exist.

it possible to make a script, or set of scripts, that would:
- a) replace one line in the config.lua to use the edited map,
- b) restart the server,
- c) get the name of the player standing on the tile(s) and write the respective names on the hero statues that are where the basins were?
