Ghost Buster - Anti Ghost Device (07/21/05)
J. M. Pescado:
Mausoleums are structures elevated on foundations wherein urns are placed. It exploits a weakness of ghosts, namely, the inability for them to cross a foundational boundary without using the stairs like everyone else. Once a ghost is trapped in a mausoleum, since ghosts spawn at the last place they manifested, unless so clogged with ghosts that they can't spawn there, they will not be able to leave. Of course, there's no telling where a ghost will appear the first time, although it seems to be localized around site of death, and if the ghost spawns outside, he'll be able to move again.
The Ghostbuster will prevent this, because if a ghost stops moving in a room with a Ghostbuster, he will get zapped back to his urnstone, which is probably located in aforementioned mausoleum, trapping him.
Other weaknesses of ghostly movement include the inability to cross a pool without using the pool ladders or boards, and the inability to cross water created with the water tool under any circumstances. Basically, with regards to foundations, pools, and water, ghosts are limited to the same movement methods are regular sims.

This didn't work exactly right for me. The ghosts took a several seconds to get zapped in the room that had the sign. They still interrupted sims and still were able to scare the crap out of one.
J. M. Pescado:
Well, it does have to wait for the ghost to stop routing, since otherwise the ghost will get a weird teleporting-back-and-forth effect without actually going AWAY. I could try increasing the pulse rate again, though.
There: Tripled the pulse rate on the device. It should scan slightly more often. See if that helps.
themaltesebippy:
Yes this one works better thank yew.

By banishing, do you mean "killing" the ghost so it does not interact with anything anymore? Or, if it goes to the room where the Ghost Buster is, it just relocates to the urn? This sounds like a really great hack, but I'd like to understand what it does before I download it :)
