General feedback on room scripting

My biggest issue with room scripts is their lack of ability to create any private message.
Having something that can work “desc” is nice, but most muds I’ve ever been on allow scripts roughly the same actions any “user” level entity could access.
Writing and debugging the scripts really doesn’t feel hard. But storing variables and thinking about how one should do such is annoying as marshaling things in and out of the script’s properties for memory is tedious the first time.

I like how the scripting work, though the help inside the client could be better. While the info on github is more than enough, (And lets be honest, the client source code is really easy to read to.) It’d probably be nice if help roomscript was a bit more verbose.
It’s probably a lot for folks who having been coding for years. Assembly script is a bit weird when it comes to languages.
