The syntax of any mobile program can be as shown below: if <if_check_1> <argument> <operator> <value> or <if_check_2> <argument> <operator> <value> or <if_check_N> <argument> <operator> <value> and <if_check_N> <argument> <operator> <value> and <if_check_N> <argument> <operator> <value> <program_command_1> <program_command_2> break <program_command_N> else <program_command_1> <program_command_2> break <program_command_N> endif Basically it is an 'if' line, followed by 'and' and/or 'or' lines, followed by some mud commands, which may contain a 'break' line, possibly followed by an 'else' line, followed by more mud commands, which may contain a 'break'line, followed by an 'endif' line. The 'if' line is any valid if_check expression, those if_check expression can be conbinated with the logic operators or and and. The BREAK command bails out of the entire mobile program regardless of the level if nesting. (END is a synonym for BREAK). Examples: MOBPrograms for [ 5003]: Number Vnum Trigger Phrase ------ ---- ------- ------ [ 0] 5009 ACT pokes you in the ribs. #5009 if isnpc $n chuckle poke $n break else if level $n <= 5 or isgood $n tell $n I would rather you didnt poke me. else if level $n > 15 scream say Ya know $n. I hate being poked!!! if mobhere guard mob force guard kill $n endif kill $n break endif slap $n shout MOMMY!!! $N is poking me. endif endif This trigger will only happen when the mobile gets the message "... pokes you in the ..." If the offender (recall the $n and $N refer to the char who did the poking...) is an NPC, then the mobile merely chuckles and pokes back. If the offender was a PC then good and low level characters get a warning, high level chars get attacked, and midlevel chars get slapped and whined at. Also, when attacking, the mobile will check if there are guards in the room (if mobhere guard) and if one is found, it will be forced to attack the player, too (mob force guard mob kill $n). Notice the use of a mobile command "mob force".
