Aliases%serialize( )
Parametersmixed @data

    Takes any data type or variable and serializes the contents into an XML
    string encoding. This function generally won't be used by builders,
    however the underlying serialization mechanism is used to store persistent
    data in the MySQL database.

    Example:

    @data->name  = %getShortName( @n )
    @data->level = %getLevel( @n )
    @data->race  = %getRace( @n )

    signal world 1 c death_proclaimer player_died %serialize( @data )
