Manual:DIL Manual/gamestate()

Function:    gamestate( u : unitptr, gs : integer ); 
Change the gamestate of a unitptr, uses the GS_ defines from the
vme.h. This is used on the log on menu of the VME 2.0 release. Which is
shown here as an example but it can also be used in a command.  When used it
removes the char from playing so be aware that players could use this to hide
if you run a player killing style mud.
Example:

dilbegin informer();
var
tgt : unitptr;
code
{
heartbeat := PULSE_SEC;

tgt := ghead();

while(tgt.type == UNIT_ST_PC)
{

 if((isset(tgt.pcflags,PC_INFORM)) and (tgt != self))
 {
     if(visible(tgt,self))
        {
        if(self.outside == tgt.outside)
        sendtext(self.name+" has arrived.&n", tgt);
     else
        sendtext(self.name+" has entered the world.&n", tgt);
        }
