Merchant Module Usage Mechanics

Usable by a Merchant with Advertising IV, this module allows you to store a waypoint and teach your droid a phrase up to 128 characters in length. Any time someone passes within range of the droid, it will issue the taught message, with a 30 second pause between each barked messages. Anyone can access the waypoint from the droid menu.

The Merchant Barker Module will produce a droid radial menu for Merchants with Advertising IV, with the following options

• Record Message - Allows you to create a text message that is a total of 128 characters in length. This message is stated in spatial chat and is programmed the same way. This message will repeat every 60 seconds, as long as someone enters the area of the droid.

• Set Waypoint - This option brings up a selection box with a list of all waypoints that are stored. The waypoint will be listed exactly as it is listed in the datapad. This will be the way point that is given out when the 'Get Merchant Waypoint' menu option is used

• Toggle Barker on/off - This option toggles the Barker function on and off. The message will repeat every 60 seconds, as long as someone is in the area of the droid.

• Get Merchant Waypoint menu is displayed for anyone that opens the droids radial. This will deposit a waypoint into the user’s datapad.

After the droid "barking" is started, the owner can leave the planet if needed and the droid will continue. Once the droid's battery runs down (1 - 2 hours), the barking will end. If the Droid detects NO PLAYERS nearby after a short amount of time, it will AUTOSTORE back into your datapad.
