actually, special procedures ARE called for sentinel mobs every pulse
mobile..so, maybe there's something wrong with your spec proc..what you
should really do is look into getting a scripting system (mob progs or DG
scripts)..this would be a piece of cake then:
>mprog_greet_all_prog 100
mpecho $I squaks 'Pieces of eight.'
mpsteal $r
mpsteal would be a mob only func that loops through the target's inventory
and steals a random item or gold..like below..might be useful to eight
mobprog or dg people (with a little tweaking)..
ACMD(do_mpsteal)

struct char_data *vict;

send_to_char("Huh?\n\r", ch);
return;
}
argument = one_argument(argument, vict_name);

> your right you are being stupid so shut up and go masturbate
wtf? this is a very legitimate NEWBIE question..maybe it deserves a little
RTFC, but not such a rude and vulgar response..this reply is also grounds
for removal from the list..not only because of the lack of nettiquette,
but also the lack of an ObCircle..
