What I want to do is allow the owner of a colony to be able to manage it through verbs in the rightclick menu. I have them showing in the statpanel via a list as a client var.

I can do it like this:

colony/verb
Monitor()
set src in world
if(owner != usr.client) return //only let owner change it
//do other stuff here

but it seems like there should be a better way to do it rather than let everything in the world have access to it, maybe I need to take a brake :p
