Random PC or MOB

[Vibius]

Hi!

Does anyone knows if there is any way of targetting one mob or character between all the mobs and PCs in the room? (Not just a pc, which I would be it would be with $r, it could be a mob or pc) And just a random mob?

Thanks!

What specifically are you trying to accomplish?

Rubble falling over someone's head (be either a pc or a mob)

Sorry for the delay; I was travelling.

If you have fixed mobiles in the room (mobiles whose reset location is that room and which are set with ACT_SENTINEL) then you could do something like this:

Code: Select all

>greet_prog 100~
if rand(50)
  if mobinroom(1234) > 0
    mpecho Rocks fall on the first mobile, generically given the VNUM 1234.
    mpmadd m1234 currhp -5
  else
    if mobinroom(5678) > 0
      mpecho Rocks fall on the second mobile, generically given the VNUM 5678.
      mpmadd m5678 currhp -5
    endif
  endif
else
  if dex($n) > 18
    mpechoat $n Rocks fall around you!
    mpechoaround $n Rocks fall all around @N!
  else
    mpechoat $n Rocks fall upon you!
    mpechoaround $n Rocks fall upon @N!
    mpmadd $n currhp -5
  endif
endif

I am not sure if a rand_prog will accept the mobiles VNUM as a target. I feel that it probably will not because they are notoriously single-minded in their search for an $r target.

Lot of thanks Harroghty.
