/* What it does:

/*    This is a generic town crier, who wanders around an area and

/*    shout's out something specific.  In my version he is used to

/*    tell the PC's about my area that, so he is just trying to get

/*    their attention.  I have added a section for randomized "crys"

/*    which is commented out, since I don't want that.

/*    - Additionally, if he is attacked, he will try to flee

/*    shouting for "help" as well as a random retort I put in for fun.

/*    - Finally, the players reputation is affected should they attack

/*    the crier. The reputation effect, if any is based on the chance that

/*    the attack was noticed, which is affected by day/night.  I have a 100%

/*    chance the attack is seen in the day, since this crier is used in very

/*    busy areas, like markets and city gates.  At night I have it to 40%.

/*

/*

/* Notes:

/*  Uses:xGetNaySayerCry(),xGetHelpCry()

/*

/*  The script is used in the OnUserDefined event.

/*  The following flags need to be "uncommented" in the custom OnSpawn event:

/*  HEARTBEAT, ATTACK, and PERCEIVE.

/*

/*  I would also include a variable in each area, and use that to

/*  detmine the penalty to reputation, for example, if an area is a

/*  law abiding town, a penalty of 10, if it is a seedy hot-bed of

/*  bad guys, maybe the penalty would be none?
