FIXED: Disappearing wagon

[deimos]

I'll preface by saying my fault for not noticing right away. Still getting used to the room highlight thing from Adael's scripts and the different colors and whatnot. Anyway, nobody was zone, I primarily play DS and can't help but incessantly type where even on human. I slept for the tic, total of maybe 10 total seconds.. Granted, could be wrong as far as a bug... but I can't see any explanation for wagon there, sleep a few seconds, wake and it's gone.

A small hill rises up in the middle of the grasslands giving a great view
over the area. A wooden bridge can be seen to the south spanning over a
wide river. Far in the east the jagged peaks of the Mountains of Mist can
be seen. A few spots of bare dirt gives the impression that there used to
be an old road curving through the plain. Now though most of the old road
is overgrown by the sea of grass.

I've seen this before maybe two or three times in all my time in the game. It's one of those things that's so rare that it's going to be impossible to fix.

I did check if the wagon hadn't moved to another room when the horse hagged (that seems to always be a thing), but nope.

[deimos]

I just got done trying to recreate it, to no avail. sleeping just before tic, like in original post.. sleeping an entire tic... nothing seemed to get it. I wonder if it's simply a zone max type of issue as another wagon does load in that zone, when zone repops and sees the 'unknown' wagon it zaps it? Either way, I'm trying to be a big boy... was hours of work that just... poof.

Thanks for taking a peek at it though, I will certainly not sleep there like that again

And, I told you I had a super ability for this Ely!

From what I remember of previous cases, it's a combination of horse hagging and... whatever other factor that causes this. It could be that there's a /purge wagon command somewhere ingame, but then I would expect this issue to be more prevalent. So yeah, congratulations, you hit a super rare event.

Ate another wagon... I think it's pretty clear it has to do with the patties.. in what way, who knows.. but this time I was casually spamming through, didn't sleep. Wasn't going ultra fast but not slow either... seriously frustrating...

On the Almoth Plains
High grass bends slightly in the light wind, stretching out in every
direction seemingly forever - north towards Arad Doman and south towards
Tarabon. This is in reality a nowhereland, where nobody has been in firm
control for decades or even centuries. A small waterhole can be made out in
the plains just to the south.

Figured it out. Old timey way of loading mobs, with a purge to get rid of excess items. You enter the zone and trigger repop and you arrive at that room right as the repop goes through the purge command.

I've removed it.
