Mp commands
The following is a list of all the mpcommands that can be used in mobile/object/room programs.
| mpadvance | This command will advance a PC in levels. This should never ever be used. |
| mpaffect | This will cast a spell without echos. There is no chance of failure but there
is a chance for resisting the spell. This is ideal for when you want to have mobiles who have special attacks that are
fire based etc, allow for resisting.
mpaffect poison $r |
| mpapply | This command is never to be used. It makes the PC apply for authorisation.
It is only used in the character creation process.
mpapply $n |
| mpapplyb | This command is never to be used. It makes the PC apply for authorisation.
It is only used in the character creation process.
mpapplyb $n |
| mpareaecho | This will do an echo that will echo to the WHOLE area.
mpeareacho You can hear the screams of a banshee nearby. |
| mpasound | This will echo a chosen phrase to the rooms immediately adjacent and not in the current room.
mpasound You hear the sound of a bell ringing nearby. |
| mpat | This does a command in another location.
mpat 8030 yell Help! I am being attacked in Selunes Temple. This will mean that despite the fact the mobile is in another area they can yell in 8030 which is Waterdeep. This is ideal for small areas hanging off another area where people are more likely to be to call for help etc. |
| mpcast | This command will cast a spell without a chance of failure. It can be resisted, but echos are still seen.
mpcast poison $r |
| mpclearability | Reduces the current number of uses for an ability mpclearability 'shapechange' $n |
| mpclearspell | Removes one prepared spell mpclearspell 'magic missile' $n |
| mpclosepassage | This closes the exit in a certain room in a certain direction. It only works for EX_PASSAGE exits.
mpclosepassage roomvnum exitdirection |
| mpdamage | This will damage a PC or a mobile for a certain number of hps without killing them. We prefer that mpmadd currhp's is used rather than this. It does not take hit locations into account.
mpdamage $n 100 This will damage the PC for 100 hitpoints. |
| mpdegrade | This changes the condition of equipment of the specified material type.
mpdegrade $n 17 -1 The 17 refers to the material type. Refer to the objects lesson on material types for the bit number of each material type. You must use the bit vector number and not the word in this situation. The -1 degrades the object by 1. |
| mpdeposit | This deposits some gold into the current area's ecomomy.
You would use it in situations like when you use bribe progs for boat trips etc, put that money back into the economy.
mpdeposit 1000 |
| mpdrain | This does the opposite of mprestore.
If an amount is not specified it will take the target down to 1 hp/mana/stamina
and mentalstate to -99. It does not take into account hit locations and is better
handled with mpmadd and mpmset percenthp.
mpdrain $n |
| mpdream | It echos to a sleeping target only.
mpdream $n You dream about ghosts and trolls. |
| mpecho | This echoes to the room only.
mpecho The young elf grimaces in pain before doubling over. |
| mpechoaround | This echoes to everyone in the room except for the target. It is often used in conjunction with mpechoat.
mpechoaround $n The ghoul glares at $n. |
| mpechoat | This echoes only a specified target.
mpechoat $n The ghoul glares at you. |

| mpforce | This forces a mobile or a PC to perform an action.
mpforce $n dance This forces the PC to dance. |
| mpgive | This command gives an object to a PC or a mobile.
It is better than give as it does not worry about if they PC can hold
the object or not based on encumberance etc. There is no echo with mpgive
so echos if needed will have to be made using mpechoat and mpechoaround.
mpgive knife $n mpgive i12004 $n |
| mpgoto | Sends the mobile to a given location.
mpgoto 8030 This will send the mobile to room 8030. mpgoto 3 Going to room vnum 3 will purge the mob from the game. mpgoto 99 Room 99 is a waiting room for mobiles to sit in while they are not being used. For instance mobiles that go home for the night would go to 99. |

PC's to hire NPC's to work at their dwellings. Do not use it for normal areas.
mphireemployee $n |
| mpinfect | This will infect the target with disease.

mpjunk $o This will junk the given object and is used on the object itself to be junked. mpjunk i12004 This will junk a given object name (i12004 could also be knife or whatever other names the object has). It is best to use the vnum unless you do not care which vnum of items with the same name you are junking. mpjunk i12004 $n This will junk a given object name (i12004 could also be knife or whatever other names it has) on a specific target (namely the PC). mpjunk all This will junk all items in inventory of the mobile. mpjunk all.iQQ00 $n This will junk all items of that vnum in the inventory of the PC. mpjunk all.iQQ00 This will junk all items of that vnum in the inventory of the mobile. |

| mppurge | This will purge a given item, mobile or room.
The difference between mppurge and mpjunk is that mppurge looks in the room and gets
rid of mobiles as well as object. Mpjunk is mainly used for getting rid of objects on a mobile or PC.
mppurge Without argument like this it will purge everything in the room. It does not purge anything in the players inventory. It does not purge itself either. mppurge m8023 This will purge the mobile of the vnum 8023 which is a Waterdeep Soldier. The word soldier could have been used in this case or any other key words that the mobile has. The use of m8023 means there is little chance for confusion. mppurge i12004 $n This will purge the object i12004 on the target $n. It is best to use the iVNUM in this case. If other key words like knife is used then it may cause the wrong object to purge. |

mpquiet on mpquiet off |
| mpregoto | This will send the mobile back to the vnum from where they did a mpgoto from.

| mptakecash | This will take a specified amount of gold from the specified target.
The value is in copper. It doesn't matter if the PC has other currency in inventory, the code will
take the equivalent in copper and give back change. The PC must have the money in inventory, not
in a container for it to work.
mptakecash $n 100 This will take the equivalent of 100 copper from the PC. mptakecash $n 100 [haggle] If you add haggle after the command it will haggle and echo what the cost was haggled down to. |
