Nemesis bulletin boards: LPC bulletin board, note 19

Ecstasy also noted: There's some more on that property:
	set_prop(P_DESTRUCT_WHEN_SOLD,
	  "The shopkeeper drops the vase and it shatters.");

This will also change the message you get when you sell the object. In
short, any value other than 0 will make the object destruct, but strings
will change the message.

All generic objects, that can or might be taken by adventurers, support
(or at least will or should ;-) support) suitable properties.

Generic objects that support properties and therefore also persistence
of players' inventory support also this:
	set_quest_item(1);
or
	set_quest_item("The shopkeeper drops the vase and it shatters.");

Documentation how to code with them will follow. Some hints are already
on the documentation board in the inner guild ('goto /guild/adv/inner3')
or via https://nemesis.de/lpc/board/7 .

PS: I removed some notes posted by Shadowfax, Ecstasy and Quicksilver
(all dated from Dec 11 1993 to Dec 17 1993) saying that they did not know
this property or they explained how it works or that "everybody should
read the documentation board" ;-) 

Here you can discuss LPC issues like how to code this and that,
who has coded something like this or how that works etc.
As there are no real "secrets" on this board it is now
available via https://nemesis.de/lpc/board/10/ , too.
