Would this be hard to script? Idea.

It would be nice to be able to add some NPC names to a list and it keeps checking the area for them. For example, add "Nasty Fairy" and if one is within range you get alerted somehow...or if you're searching for a quest NPC in a town it would alert you when you get close.

not hard at all... if you want something just for yourself do something like..

while 1
{
if ${Pawn[Name1](exists)}
echo Pawn 1
elseif ${Pawn[Name2](exists)}
echo Pawn 2
wait 5
}

How "far" does that look, like how far away will it detect a mob?

Or, you could use the VG_onPawnSpawned event (http://vg.isxgames.com/wiki/index.php?title=VG_onPawnSpawned_%28Event%29) ..which would be the best option. A pawn "spawns" when you get within range of it, and "despawns" when you go out of range of it. For all practical purposes, a pawn simply does not exist until you're within range.

The range would be the same as the radar and "/where" command. It varies from place to place.
