MPMLOAD   MPOLOAD

Syntax : MPMLOAD (vnum) {level}

Syntax : MPOLOAD (vnum) {level} {timer}

Loads a mob or object. In the case of objects, the level must be set, or supermob will end up setting the level. Timer is optional, and is the decay timer for objects.

MPOSET

Syntax: MPOSET (vnum) {field} [value]

Functions much the same as OSET does.

MPMSET

Syntax: MPMSET (vnum) {field} [value]

Functions much the same as MSET does.

MPJUNK

Destroys an object in inventory/being worn. Displays no message to room.

MPPURGE

Syntax : MPPURGE (object/mobile)

Purges the room, or a specified object/mobile.

MPTRANSFER

Syntax : MPTRANSFER (name/all) {location}

Transfers one or all in the room to a specified location.

MPSCATTER

Syntax: MPSCATTER <victim> (vnum) (vnum)

Functions much like teleport does, except that a vnumber range can be specified.

MPFORCE

Syntax: MPFORCE (name/all) {command/action}

Forces a player/mob to do a command or action (non-functional on immortals, all will only force all in room).

MPSLAY

Syntax: MPSLAY (victim)

Slays the victim in cold blood (instant death); the victim gets no saving throw.

MPDAMAGE

Syntax : MPDAMAGE {victim} (amount) {damtype}

This command inflicts a specified amount of damage on the victim. This damage will be affected by sanctuary, but is not affected by protect, saving throws or resists. Resistance/susceptibility will only be factored in if a damtype is specified.

Note: A mob should _never_ mpdamage itself, at risk of crashing.

Damtypes include: None, fire, cold, electricity, energy, acid, poison, and drain.

MPDREAM

Syntax: MPDREAM (target) {phrase}

Sends a message to a sleeping character, same as "dream" spell.

MPFLAG   MPRMFLAG

Syntax: MPFLAG <victim> <flag> <value>
Syntax: MPRMFLAG <victim> <flag> <value>

Using these commands you can assign variables based on 128 "bits". These bits work like "On/Off" switches and may be assigned by any mob. A typical mpflag will look like :

testing:3=[1]

"testing" is the name of the flag, "3" is the vnum of the mob that assigned the flag, and the "[1]" is the bit that is enabled. When more than one bit is enabled, it will look more like:

testing:3=[1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1]

In this case, bits 1 and 11 are enabled, 2-10 are disabled. To make use of these flags, use the "isflagged" ifchecks. Mpflags will be assigned to a player for a mobs "level X intelligence". The flag will save when the character saves and will continue to exist for this amount of time "mudtime". You can also set the timer for a tag using the commands "noexpire" or "timer".

Example: mpflag noexpire $n <flag> [value]
Example: mpflag timer <#> $n <flag> [value]

If no timer is designated, the timer is set based on the mobs intelligence multiplied by the mobs level.

MPTAG  MPRMTAG

Syntax: MPTAG <victim> <tag> [value]
Syntax: MPRMTAG <victim> <tag>

Using these commands, you can assign a "tag", or "variable" to a character, either just the tag, or the tag and a value associated with it.

The "tag" can be both a "string variable" (a group of characters, or words) or an "integer" variable, a number. If using a number you can use the ifcheck "istagged" to compare how big or little the number is using <>= operators.

The tag assigned to a character will last on the character based on the mob's intelligence and level that assigned it. (eg: INT x LEVEL ) So a level 10 mob with an intelligence of 13 will tag for a length of 130 ticks. These tags will save to a characters pfile and will last over logging out and logging in. You can also set the timer for a tag using the commands "noexpire" or "timer".

You can additionally specify a vnum to be associated with a particular tag. Tagging a mob with the 0 vnum allows all mobs to see/modify that tag.

Mprmtag can also be used to clear all bits of a particular mpflag. See MPFLAG for more information.

MPRESTORE

Syntax : MPRESTORE (victim) [amount]

This command restores a specified number of hitpoints to the victim.

MPOPENPASSAGE   MPCLOSEPASSAGE

Syntax : MPOPENPASSAGE (origin) (destination) {direction}

Opens a passage to a room (does not affect pre-existing doors)

Syntax : MPCLOSEPASSAGE (room) {direction}

Closes a passage to a room (does not affect pre-existing doors that were not created with mpopenpassage)

MPFILLIN

Syntax: MPFILLIN <exit>

New mpfillin, this simply sets a closed door bit, so can be used for several things, quietly closing a door, closing an exit that was dug, etc...

MPFAVOR

Syntax: MPFAVOR <target> -(amount)
Syntax: MPFAVOR <target> +(amount)
Syntax: MPFAVOR <target> (amount)

The MPFAVOR mpcommand is used to take, give, or set a PCs favor by/to the specified amount.

Note: The current high/low settings for favor can not be exceeded: 2500 and -2500

MPPRACTICE

Syntax: MPPRACTICE (victim) [skill/spell/language] {amount}

This command will set the victim's percentage of proficiency in the specified skill/spell/language to the specified amount

It cannot train a character in a skill/spell/language the character does not have as a part of its class and that it does not already have as a result of its level. In other words, it canot train a warrior in fireball, or a level 1 thief in gouge.

MPADVANCE

Syntax: MPADVANCE (name) [level]

Advances the level of a player. (Not functional in prototype programs.)

Note: This should only be used in very special circumstances.

MPINVIS

Syntax: MPINVIS
Syntax: MPINVIS (level)

This command controls a mob's ability to use a modified form of wizinvis. Use 'mpinvis' alone to toggle the invisibility. Use "mpinvis (level)" to set the level at which the mob will be invis.

Mortals under the mobinvis level of the mob will be unable to see the mob when it goes mobinvis; they cannot see it with any spell, it will be completely invisible to them.

Be warned, however, that its programs will still function as normal, the mortal will simply see a "Someone" if it performs an action or an echo that they see, just as if a wizinvis immortal performed the action.

Also be warned that at the present time, area attacks _will_ hit a mobinvis creature even if it is invisible.

MPSLEEP

Syntax: MPSLEEP <delay>

This command can be used to set a delay on a program's operation. The delay is measured in "beats". I believe there are currently 9 beats per second on RoD.

Note: This command may be RoD specific.

MPKILL

Syntax: MPKILL {name/variable}

Attacks a player without using murder.

MPGOTO

Syntax: MPGOTO (vnum)

Goes to any room which is not private.

MPREGOTO

Syntax: MPREGOTO

This command will place a mob at the last location they were at before their last MPGOTO.

MPAT

Syntax : MPAT (vnum) {command}

Lets the mob

ile perform a command at another location.

MPDEPOSIT   MPWITHDRAW

Syntax: MPDEPOSIT <amount>
Syntax: MPWITHDRAW <amount>

This command orders the mobile to deposit or withdraw a specified number of gold coins from an area. These can be used in conjunction with mpat to tell the mob which area to withdraw/deposit money in.

This would cause the mob to withdraw 5 million coins from the new Darkhaven area, as that is the area vnum 21000 is in.

If mpat is note used, the mob will withdraw or deposit the gold from the area in which it is located at the time.

MPPLACE

Syntax: MPPLACE <object name>
Syntax: MPPLACE <object name> [area name]
Syntax: MPPLACE <object name> [vnum range]

This command allows the mob to drop an item in a random location either in the entire mud, inside a certain area, or inside a vnum range. It will not drop items in a room there is a player in, and it will not drop items in death traps.

Note: Be sure the mob executing the command can see in the rooms he is dropping in.

MPRETRANS

Syntax: MPRETRANS <victim>

This command will retransfer whoever or whatever the mob transferred to the last location it was at before it was MPTRANS'ed.

MPHUNT   MPHATE

Syntax: MPHUNT <victim>
Syntax: MPHATE <victim>

MPHUNT sets the mobiles hunting flag and begins the tracking process. MPHATE sets the mobile aggressive to the player upon entry but does not track the character.
