||unity-dev|| Holiday help!

Hi Ryan,


I haven't used unity for a while, but your problem seems very easy to
solve with Unity...
There is something called "room attributes", you can be notified when
a room attribute is changed by handling this event:

	function onUpdateRoomAttribute(e:URoomEvent):Void
	{
        }

and you can change a room attribute with:
setAttribute(roomName, attribute, value);

Hope this helps,
Jose
