This, is a tricky, tricky thing, if you are unfamilar with mprogs or oprogs. Mprogs are what are written and placed on mobs to have them react, ignore, give, take something from another player, or move them from one place to another. oprogs can display neat messages whenever a person wields the item, or wears it. If it can be coded into an mprog, the mob or obj can do it, given the right flags are available and used. The tricky part, is that a mistake in the coding of the mprog, can and often will disable the mprog and make it unusable, or worse, cause repeated crashes in the mud. If you do not know how to code, or write mprogs, the best way to learn is to ask someone who is handy with the little buggers to show you. If you're a little rusty, and need refreshed, see help mprog, help ifhelp, help if_checks, and follow any links at the bottom of each help file that are needed.
Also, if you're scared to do mprogs or just do not wish to mess with them you can use the mobemotes or the mobsays in the medit menu. Type help mobsay to learn more.
