                    A Guideline for Making Progams
                    ------------------------------
This is intended as a set of guidelines to those who are just beginning
as Builders.  Nothing here is written in stone, this file is based on my
experience and the online help files.   (Herne the Hunter)

Remember that most important command: SAVEAREA

Giving Life to your Areas
-------------------------
This is by no means the LAST word on how to make programs for SMAUG-type
MUDs, this is merely intended as a "place to start".  There are many
people who have MUCH more experience when it comes to making programs,
and this file is my crude attempt at helping those who are just starting
out.  The main thing is, this file will provide all the required HELP
files in one place for the new programmer.

Programs are the tools that provide "life" to an area, from something as
simple as providing "atmosphere" to something as complicated as a fight
program.  Programs bring the MUD alive.

How to Make Programs
--------------------
Programs can be linked to either rooms, mobs or objects, but all programs
require a trigger to set them in motion.  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.  Depending on whether a trigger is linked
to a room, mob or object, the syntax for each program can be slightly
different.  For detailed information on triggers, see: RPTRIGGERS,
MPTRIGGERS, and OPTRIGGERS

VARIABLES.


USEPROG
Syntax : opedit <object> <command> [number] [use_prog] [percentage]
Example: opedit helmet add use 50  (Prog triggers 50% of the time worn)
     
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 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.

VARIABLES


The Meat of the Program
-----------------------
Once you've set the trigger for a program, you enter into a note-like
text editor that you use to write the program itself.  Just like writing
a program for a PC, a MUD Program can perform many tasks such as issuing
mpcommands (MUD Program Commands), ifchecks, or merely printing text to
the screen.

What follows are the help files for MPCOMMANDS, IFCHECKS, and the
VARIABLES that can be used within the programs.  I've also included a
couple of sample programs using some of these commands to help you
understand and get started on your own.


MPCOMMANDS RPCOMMANDS OPCOMMANDS
The following commands can be used for Room, Mob and Object progs. The
commands listed at the bottom are for mob progs only.  Each command also
has its own help file.  Type HELP <COMMAND>.

MPTRIGGERS, RPTRIGGERS, OPTRIGGERS, IFCHECKS, VARIABLES.


MPDAMAGE
Syntax :  mpdamage <victim> <amount>
Example:  mpdamage 0.$n 100      (Do 100 hps damage to player $n)
 
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, at risk of crashing.

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.

MPRESTORE
Syntax :  mprestore <victim> <amount>
Example:  mprestore self 200     (Triggerer restores self with 200 Hps)
This command restores a specified number of hitpoints to the victim.

MPSLAY
Syntax:  mpslay <victim>
This command orders the mob to slay the victim in cold blood; the
victim gets no saving throw.

MPASOUND
Syntax: MPASOUND <phrase>
Displays a phrase to all surrounding rooms.

MPECHOAROUND
Syntax: MPECHOAROUND <name> <phrase>
Displays a phrase to all in the room except victim.
[The abbreviation "mer" may be used for mpechoaround.]
(See also ECHO_COLOURS)

MPECHO
Syntax: MPECHO <phrase>
Displays a phrase to the entire room.
(See also ECHO_COLOURS)

MPFORCE
Syntax: MPFORCE <name/all>
Forces a player/mob to do a command (non-functional on immortals, all
will only force all in room).

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

MPJUNK
Syntax: MPJUNK <name>
Destroys an object in inventory/being worn - can be used with all.object.

MPECHOAT
Syntax: MPECHOAT <name> <phrase>
Displays a phrase to only the victim.
[The abbreviation "mea" may be used for mpechoat.]
(See also ECHO_COLOURS)

MPMLOAD MPOLOAD
Syntax : MPMLOAD <vnum> <level>
Example: mpmload 1000 20     (Invoke mob 1000 at level 20)

Syntax : MPOLOAD <vnum> <level> <timer>
Example: mpoload 1000 20     (Invoke obj 1000 at level 20)
         mpoload 1000 20 30  (Same as above, but with a 30 tick 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.

MPPURGE
Syntax : MPPURGE <object/mobile>
Example: mppurge                 (Purges entire room)
         mppurge key             (Purge the first key)
         mppurge dog             (Purge the mob named "dog")

Purges the room, or a specified object/mobile.

MPTRANSFER
Syntax : MPTRANSFER <name/all> <location>
Example: mptransfer $n 1000   (Transfer triggerer to room 1000)
         mptransfer $n joe    (Transfer triggerer to mob "joe")
         mptransfer all 1000  (Transfer all in trigger room to room 1000)
Transfers one or all in the room to a specified location.

MPOPENPASSAGE MPCLOSEPASSAGE
Syntax : MPOPENPASSAGE <origin> <destination> <direction>
Example: mpopenpassage 1000 1002 n
         (Open a passage north from room 1000 to room 1002)
Opens a passage to a room (does not affect pre-existing doors)

Syntax : MPCLOSEPASSAGE <room> <direction>
Example: mpclosepassage 1000 n  (Close the north passage in room 1000)
Closes a passage to a room (does not affect pre-existing doors that were
not created with mpopenpassage)

MPKILL
Syntax: MPKILL <name>
Kills a player without using murder.

MPAT
Syntax : MPAT <vnum> <command>
Example: mpat 1000 drop all    (Mob drops its inventory at room 1000)

Lets the mobile perform a command at another location.

MPGOTO
Syntax: MPGOTO <vnum>
Goes to any room which is not private.
