Its been a while since I put a new wish in here, so I thought I'd drag up an
old one. We have a new version of AW on the horizon, with a few changes to
the SDK - some of which are useful, some of which are necessary to support
the new browser functionality (i.e. approximately 1 million new world
attributes), but nothing on the scale of the "Object click events now
include the Object X, Y, Z, Description, etc....." revelation.

One item that contiunues to raise its head from developers is the rather
lacking "AW_EVENT_OBJECT_DELETE" event attributes, currently residing in the
"it would be so much more useful if" category for most developers. The wish
is, of course, that the object attributes be included in the event like the
"Click" event now has ... so that a deleted object can be restored should
this be necessary without the need to query the cell in case someone does
delete it.

I'm not trying to second guess any reasons its not been addressed previously
(like at the same time as the click event got the benefit of these useful
attributes) or the difficulty associated in implementing it. I would like to
know, though, whether this one item pencilled in for a future realease, or
whether its technically a big issue because of legacy code.

This request gets brought up a lot by SDK users, so a timely appearance
would be welcome. I was disappointed to see that it wasn't included in build
29 as it gives world management bots the power they need to rectify "issues"
with deletions. While I'm here ... if possible, identifying the object
number/cell of the deleted object in the AW_EVENT_OBJECT_ADD event (for an
object- move) would also make a lot of people's lifes much much easier.

Ta,

Grims.
