I've included the entire paragraph above because some of it
confused the hell out of me. Maybe I mised something. I think the gist
though is that there is a 'stun' command which was unhelpfully not
included, which stuns for 3 minutes.
It's supposed to stun for 3 combat rounds when it's used on a
particular mob with a given spec_proc.
Fair enough.
First, couldn't you just have the skill check for the victim to be
stunned, and then change it from GET_WAIT_STATE(vicitm)=1_RL_SECOND*180;
to GET_WAIT_STATE(victim)=3*PULSE_VIOLENCE.
Otherwise, you could have the spec_proc for the mob check and see
if the wait_state is ever greater than 3*PULSE_VIOLENCE, and if so, set it
back to that value, minus a mobile activity pulse (or so, depending on how
the spec_proc was called).
