Death programs

Death programs activate on the death of a mobile. You can set the percentage chance that they have of activating.

>death_prog 100~
if questr(15100, 19, 5, $n) == 6
  mpoload 8070
  mpmset $n questr 15100 19 5 7
  mpechoat $n You have killed one of the secret Lords of Waterdeep!
  mpechoaround $n $n has killed one of the secret Lords of Waterdeep!
endif

The above program is on an undisclosed mobile in Waterdeep. It happens 100 percent of the time. However what it does will not happen unless the conditions are met. This particular program checks for quest bits in ANOTHER area. It is looking at the area with the vnums that start with 15100. You can check quests in different areas using the questr method. If these bits are correct in that area the prog loads up an object (head of the victim), sets the bits up one step on the PC and then echos at the player and around the player.

>death_prog 100~
if quest(4, 2, $n) == 2
  mpoload 28433
  mpoload 28434
  mpmadd $n exp 500
  mpmadd $n lawful -100
  mpmadd $n good -100
  mpmset $n quest 4 2 3
endif

The above program is the death prog on mobile who is a citizen of an area. It checks to see if the PC has those quest bits set right before loading up two objects. It gives them 500 experience points before adjusting their lawful and good down.

Most of the time because death progs are associated with quests you will want them to happen 100% of the time. Occasionally there might be an item on a mobile that you want to load only a small chance of the time. So a rare and special object could be loaded this way. Of course there are other uses for such a prog.

>death_prog 1~
mpoload 28431

In the above program there is a 1% chance of this object being loaded on the death of this mobile.
