I am trying to create a boat ride using mobprogs. I have like 16 rooms with different desc. What I want is after the player has paid for the person the be transfer from room. Unforunately I cant seem to get the second mob to recognize the players is in the room after the transfer. If the player walks into the room all is fine and the mob transfers. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get the mob to recognize someone is in the room on a transfer?


My second question is this. When creating a door and flagging it door closed the doors come open if copied over or if the builderport crashes. What would I do to fix that? How do I get the doors to save?

Sorry I forgot to mention it ROM code base and I am working in OLC.

It's hard to help you here, since we cannot know what kind of scripting language you're using, and in earnest, it doesn't seem very stable - has some serious flaws it seems.

Anyways, you might want to try transferring the character to the next room, and then quickly sending some message to the mob in the 'arrival room', maybe the transportee's name, so it'll know when and who to transport further down the river or whatever.

Again, impossible to tell you without knowing the code base you're using. With that, someone (prolly not me ;) might be able to clue you in.

Good Luck!

I am sorry. I forgot to give you the code base. I am working in ROM 2.4 and OlC. I am using the mobprog from olc to try and make the boat ride. And the door issue from OlC also.

The easiest way to set up the boat ride is to have the scripted mob teleport everyone (including itself) to the new room, and then just continue the script room by room after an appropriate wait.

There are of course more sophisticated ways of doing it and, at least with the DG_scripts that we use in my mud, a player being teleported into a room is treated by a script in the same way as if he walked in. So greet scripts work fine for us.

Anyhow, teleporting all should do the trick, and if it doesn't teleport the mob itself, use 'mpgoto '.

About the door problem, I'm not sure. I assume you set the door in zedit, and not with a script? Scripted doors tend to screw up if the mud reboots at the wrong moment, so I avoid those myself.

Make sure the door is set exactly the same from both sides, i.e. if it is pickproof it needs to be set as that in both rooms, and it also needs to be reset as closed or locked in both rooms to work properly. (I work in a Circle codebase though, so this might not be the same for you at all).

I am trying to make a boat ride in ROM OLC mobprogs. I got my GRALL which works it greets and tells the price of passage. I got my BRIBE which seems to be working. I pay gold and it transfers me and the group to the next room. But the DELAY isnt working. I don't really understand the delays yet. But from what I read I tried to piece together what i thought was right and point to it in the BRIBE. Anyways is anyone familar with ROM OLC mobprogs and perhaps can look at this code and tell me where I am going wrong? Thanks

GRALL 100

if ISIMMORT $n
say Hello there your godliness $N.

say Only 10 gold coins and we can be on our way.
say You need to sit in the boat!
endif

mob echo The Riverserpent embarks on its voyage down the river.

Thanks everyone for you help. We got it working. I just noticed someone had mention using mob goto that what we finally used and it worked. Sorry I didnt see that earlier might of saved me some time. But then again I never did mobprogs so I guess I had to go the long way round.

Thanks again.
