102 MPAPPLY MPAPPLYB
Syntax: mpapply <victim>
Syntax: mpapplyb <victim>

These commands are used in the pre-auth area to signal a new character's
authorization status. When a character first enters the game, it will
be targeted by an 'mpapply <victim>' which will inform the immortals that
the character is waiting for authorization. Once the character is
authorized, a mob will attempt to 'mapplyb <victim>' the character, and
the character will be sent into the actual game.

103 MPASOUND
Syntax: MPASOUND <phrase>

Displays a phrase to all surrounding rooms.
 

103 MPAT
Syntax: MPAT <vnum> <command>

Lets the mobile perform a command at another location.

103 MPCOMMANDS RPCOMMANDS OPCOMMANDS

102 MPDAMAGE
Syntax: mpdamage <victim> <amount>

This command inflicts a specified amount of damage on the victim.
This damage will be affected by sanctuary, but is not affected by
protect, saving throws or resists.

A mob should _never_ mpdamage itself.

102 MPDEPOSIT MPWITHDRAW
Syntax: mpdeposit <amount>
Syntax: mpwithdraw <amount>

This command orders the mobile to deposit or withdraw a specified number
of gold coins from an area. These can be used in conjunction with mpat
to tell the mob which area to withdraw/deposit money in.

Example: mpat 21000 mpwithdraw 5000000

This would cause the mob to withdraw 5 million coins from the new Portal City
area, as that is the area vnum 21000 is in.

If no mpat is used, the mob will withdraw or deposit the gold from the
area in which it is located at the time.

103 MPDREAM
Syntax: MPDREAM <name> <phrase>
Sends a message to a sleeping character.

103 MPECHO
Syntax: MPECHO <phrase>

Syntax: mpedit <mobile> list

Add, insert and edit will put you into the line editor to edit your
program. The arguments consist of a trigger, plus any arguments
associated with that trigger.

For complete information, reference the mob program documentation available
via FTP on realms.game.org: (building.tar.gz/building.tar.Z/building.zip )

See MPSTAT, TRIGGER, MPTRIGGERS, MPCOMMANDS, IFCHECKS, IFCHECKS2, VARIABLES
 

103 MPFORCE
Syntax: MPFORCE <name/all>

Forces a player/mob to do a command (non-functional on immortals, all will
only force all in room).

103 MPGOTO
Syntax: MPGOTO <vnum>

Goes to any room which is not private.

102 MPINVIS
Syntax: mpinvis
Syntax: mpinvis <level>

This command controls a mob's ability to use a modified form of wizinvis.

Use 'mpinvis' alone to toggle the invisibility.

Use 'mpinvis <level>' to set the level at which the mob will be invis.

Mortals under the mobinvis level of the mob will be unable to see the mob
when it goes mobinvis; they cannot see it with any spell, it will be
completely invisible to them.

Be warned, however, that its programs will still function as normal, the
mortal will simply see a 'someone' if it performs an action or an echo
that they see, just as if a wizinvis immortal performed the action.

Also be warned that at the present time, area attacks _will_ hit a mobinvis
creature even if it is invisible.

103 MPJUNK
Syntax: MPJUNK <name>

Destroys an object in inventory/being worn - can be used with all.object .

103 MPKILL
Syntax: MPKILL <name>

103 MPMLOAD MPOLOAD
Syntax: MPMLOAD <vnum>
MPOLOAD <vnum> <level> <timer>

Loads a mob or object. In the case of objects, the level must be set, or
supermob will end up setting the level. Timer is optional, and is the decay
timer for objects.

103 MPOPENPASSAGE MPCLOSEPASSAGE
Syntax: MPOPENPASSAGE <origin> <destination> <direction>

Opens a passage to a room (does not affect pre-existing doors)

Syntax: MPCLOSEPASSAGE <room> <direction>

Closes a passage to a room (does not affect pre-existing doors that were
not created with mpopenpassage)

102 MPPRACTICE
Syntax: mppractice <victim> <skill/spell/language> <amount>

This command will set the victim's percentage of proficiency in the
specified skill/spell/language to the specified amount.

It cannot train a character in a skill/spell/language the character does
not have as a part of its class and that it does not already have as a
result of its level. In other words, it cannot train a warrior in
fireball, or a level 1 thief in gouge.

103 MPPURGE
Syntax: MPPURGE <object/mobile>

Purges the room, or a specified object/mobile.

102 MPRESTORE
Syntax: mprestore <victim> <amount>

For rooms, see also: RPSTAT, RPEDIT, TRIGGER, RPCOMMANDS, IFCHECKS, VARIABLES.
 

103 RPSTAT
Syntax: rpstat

Rpstat will display all of the roomprograms that have been written for a
room. You must be standing in the room that you are rpstatting (though
you can also use 'rpstat' in conjunction with the 'at' command to rpstat
a room remotely).

objinv                             Casted onto an object in the caster's inventory

103 TRIGGER
A trigger is an action, phrase, or game event that causes a program
held within a room, mob or object, to begin playing out its commands.

Triggers can be anything from a player or mob entering a room, to a
player stating a particular phrase within a room, or to a mob or an
object.

For detailed information on triggers, see:

RPTRIGGERS, MPTRIGGERS, OPTRIGGERS

104 USEPROG
Syntax: opedit <object> <command> [number] [use_prog] [percentage]

The use_prog is an objtrigger that can be used in object programs. The
use_prog will be executed when the item is used. To define what will
trigger the use_prog, here is a list:

* Wands - when you zap
* Staves - when you brandish
* Food/pills - when you eat
* Blood/fountains/drink containers - when you drink
* Lights/armour/weapons - when you wear/wield/hold
* Potions - when you quaff
* Pipes - when you smoke

When the use_prog is executed you will not see the standard 'use message'
(ie You quaff a violet potion). What you will be any mpechoes placed
in the program. Also, any mobprog commands can be used in use_prog (see
MPCOMMANDS).

**NOTE** The use_progs on lights, armour, and weapons are executed BEFORE
the player wears/holds/wields any item. Therefore, a mpforce to remove the
item will not work in the use_prog. You will have to use a wear trigger
to accomplish this.

103 VARIABLE VARIABLES
This is the list of variables to be used in actiondescs for objects and in
mob/room/object programs.
