Syntax
MOB ECHO [string]
MOB ECHOAT [victim] [string]
MOB ECHOAROUND [victim] [string]
The command mob echo displays the string to everyone in the room, the
mob echoat displays the string to the victim only, and the command mob echoaround displays the string to everyone inside the room except to the victim. The three options let you tailor the message to goto victims or to do things sneaky.
Examples:
MOB ECHO You see a feather falling from the sky.
The message: "You see a feather falling from the sky." will be displayed to everyone inside the room.
MOB ECHOAT $n Help me, please!!
The message: "Help me, please!!" will be displayed to the player who has activated the mobprog trigger ($n).
MOB ECHOAROUND $n $N disappears on a puff of smoke!!
The message: "<victim short description> disappears on a puff of smoke!!" will be displayed to everyone inside the room, except to the victim.
More Examples:
A merchand could have the command on his mobprog:
mob at guard mob echoat guard rescue_please
This coupled with a guard act trigger on rescue_please to:
mob goto $n
mob echo $I has arrived.
It is an affective way of quickly bringing guards to the scene of an attack. (Note that the merchant has to be the only one of its kind in the game or have a unique name, otherwise the guard might go to different mobile...).
