This is an intercept prog I have on a mobile.(Relevant quest info removed) When the mob is stunned and I type shine, it returns "Huh?". I have item 101428 in my inventory and have tried holding it as well, and the qbits are correct. Any ideas? I'm not seeing the problem.

The problem is that intercept triggers do not trigger if the mobile with the prog is unconscious. So if you stun them, you will not be able to use the prog.

You might have to move the prog over to the object used, and change your checks.

I did not know that. Thanks Kregor!

What target would work to check the mobile from the program on the item? Or can I use the actual vnum of the mob in place of the target, ie

Code: Select all

if hitprcnt(101408) < 1

Thanks!
