This very simple plugin will give a sound alert whenever it detects another player on screen

problems:
it will also detect any of your other bots following it too =(

does anyone know how this may be used with IFF so that it doesn't falsely give alerts for friends/party/guild members?

Thanks!

-------------------------------
i know really little (as in none) about programming, but i'm very open to suggestions to make this plugin better =)

uh there other hooks you can use you know... AI Pre is called a few thousand times per second, WAY too much overhead is created like this.

[recollection]

If this way of doing this is bad, what way should I do this? I only use the bot when I'm near the computer, and I'd like the bot to tell me when someone is around. Audio file would be the best way to do this, IMO. Other options besides this plugin?
