Mp commands are special commands that allow mobiles (NPCs) to perform scripted actions within the game.  With scripting a mobile is able to transfer a player to another location or load an item into the room for example.   In the Dawn of Time codebase, players have been prevented from using these commands by adding a separate interpreter for mp commands.

affect

Sets tired, hunger and thirst values — see ‘help affect_values’.

mob affect [victim] <tired|hunger|thirst> <value>

mob affect $n tired 20

asound

Echos the string/sound to all the rooms around the mobile. The room the mob is in does not see the echo.

mob asound <string>

mob asound ‘A lion roars nearby.’

assist

Lets the mobile assist another mob or player. Mob must be able to see the other mob/player to be able to assist them.

mob assist <target>

at

Lets the mobile do a command at another location, like the imm command.

mob at <location> <command>

boon

Causes mob to boon the target as like imm boon ability.

mob boon [victim]

call

Lets the mobile to call another MOBprogram within a MOBprogram. Characters and objects passed as parameters must be in the same room with the mobile.

mob call <vnum> [victim|’null’] [object1|’null’] [object2|’null’]

cancel

Cancels the delay timer set using the mob delay command. After mob cancel, the delay trigger program will not be run till another mob delay command.

mob cancel

cast

Lets the mobile cast spells. mob cast has less checking than the normal spell cast command, no mana is required and has no lag at all.

mob cast ‘<spell name>’ [target|normal spell parameters]

damage

Does a range of damage to a player after taking player armour into account. Lethal parameter is optional, if not used, player will never die from damage.

mob damage <target/all> <lower limit> <upper limit> [lethal]

delay

Causes a delay (in ticks) before calling another mprog which has the trigger as delay. The other mprog must be on same mob.

mob delay <ticks>

dequeall

Dequeues all currently running mobprogs.

mob dequeueall

duplicate

Will duplicate an item. Used in conjunction with the GIVE trigger, this command can make specialized shopkeepers. IE, a keycutter, a shoppie thatwill duplicate keys given to him.

mob duplicate $o

dzecho

DEBUG ZONE ECHO – Prints the string to all immortals, and all characters in building mode in the same area as a mob. This is very useful for debugging mobprogs. A disabled mobprog will automatically do a dzecho in place of running a disabled prog.

mob dzecho <string>

echo

Displays string to everyone in the room. Good for complimenting mob transfers.

mob echo <string>

mob echo $N is quietly ushered into the room.

echoaround

Displays string to everyone else in the room as the target. The target itself will not see the message.

mob echoaround <target> <string>

mob echoaround $n $N looks like a complete idiot.

echoat

Displays string to the target only. Used in conjuction with echoaround to give different messages to the target and his surrounding people.

mob echoat <target> <string>

mob echoat $n You feel like an idiot.

flee

mob flee <value – optional>

Causes the mob to unconditionally flee. Can be used with hit points percentage trigger to simulate ‘wimpy’ behavior.

force

Forces the target to do the designated command. Target will not be told they are being forced so add some echo message.

mob force <target|’all’> <command>

target

Cancels the target remembered by the mob remember command.

mob forget

gecho

Global Echo – Prints the string to all active players in the game. This works the same way as the immortal gecho command. It should be used rarely!

mob gecho <string>

gforce

Same as mob force but affects the whole group that target is in. Use with care as command must fit logic or reality.

mob gforce <target> <command>

goto

Moves the mob to another room or mob location. There will be no auto message shown so use echos to compliment it. Also if using mob-name, make sure the name is unique.

mob goto <vnum/mob-name>

mob goto 3000 – Will move the mob to room 3000

gtransfer

Same as \”mob transfer\” but moves the whole group the target is in. Convenient to use as it will not break up groups like transfer does.  No message will be shown.

mob gtransfer <target>

inflict

mob inflict <target> <lower> <upper> [kill]

mob inflict xelton 0 100 kill

inroom

Allows a mob to only ‘see’ players and objects in the same room. Very useful if you only want to vforce mobs in the existing room, etc.

mob inroom <command>

junk

Destroy all of an object in mobs inventory. It can also destroy a worn object and it can destroy items using all.xxxxx or even straight ‘mob junk all’ to get rid of everything. Matching is performed using the item(s) name.

mob junk <item>

kill

mob kill <target>

Causes the mob to attack the targeted player. Mob must be able to see the target normally.

mob kill <target>

mob letpass

mob logoutprocessed

mload

mpfollow

Allows you to follow a player even when they have nofollow on. There are no echos from using this command.

mob remort <player>

If you want to do a ‘mob echoat $n’ that MUST get to $n even when the mob can’t naturally see $n, then put ‘mob seeall’ at the top of your mobprog. The affect of this command is automatically canceled at the end of the mobprog and does not effect other functions.

mob seeall

setclass

Changes the target’s class.

mob setclass <target> <class>

mp setclass $n warrior

setskill

Assign  a skill/spell to the target. Do not set the spell level on a character that can’t cast that, such as a barbarian. Be sure only to assign skills/spells to people of the correct.

* [pracs] and [trains] are optional, you can just use 0 for completion’s sake.

* The percentage is a flexivalue (same as in in the autobalance command).

* You can also use a flexivalue of +0 to change a players trains or pracs without changing their skills.

mob transfer <target|’all’> [location]

—

mob transfer $n 299

mob transfer all 3000

tremove
