Under "Multiple Rand Programs"

Yeah, I hear what you're saying, NB. That is how it works... if checks within a program are the same deal...

having a mob like this:

rand_prog 10
'whoopie

rand_prog 10
'yeehaw

greet_prog 100
'Hi


Is the same as having this:

greet_prog 100
'hi
if rand(10)
'whoopie
if rand(10)
'yeehaw
endif
endif


when you type "mpedit mob add rand 10" is along the same lines as "mpedit mob add ifrand 10"

Understand?

[Nightblade]

I understand very well thank you, but my issue was the fact that you directed me to an example which had no substantial evidence of this working, and I still stand by my opinion that it's a completely illogical construction.

After reading the notes from you two(night and alu) my brain is now a bowl of rice pudding. Thank you.

After all this I realize I better just stick to room descriptions and get a pro to do the mobprogs for me...... I'm just not that good yet

Naw, Glay... progs aren't really that difficult.. I mean.. If _I_ could figure it out I'm sure you can.

Another one to consider is: what if the mob was charmed? Could a player force it into a position where the prog became cheatable, either through dropping some piece of equipment, getting it off the floor (to avoid the 'gives you...' act_prog), or moving to another room?
If in doubt, make your mob immune to charm.
