Well, using those 'forced' loops will make the mud loop through (possible)
big lists (i.e. the whole mob-list). Instead a short and Immediate way of
making those EXTREME_AGGRO mobs, would be to add a little pice of code
that makes a loop of the ROOM mob-list when a person enters the room. This
would probably take a lot of processing time, accepting the fact that
people could walk through 5 rooms in a seccond, and lost of people could
do that, but well, still like the perform_move version of checking such
stuff better. It's all a personal taste thing, but ONLY using the
perform_move routines are you able to ALLWAYS attack a player. This is due
to the fact, that using pulses a player could just 'run' through a room
within that 1 seccond pulse, and avoid peeing attacked.
Just my two cents,
Con.
