Smaug Fuss MOB Program Question

By Default in SMAUG, you create a new character and then name it, create the password, sex, class and race. I don't mind that method but I would rather do it in game.

What i'm looking for is a way to have a room or mob program set the player's class, or change his race, sex or even clan. I was looking through some websites but wasn't able to locate anything like that.

The question is as follows... does anyone know a way i could make such a program? Again i'm looking for ways to set what clan, race, class, or sex a character is after the "new character generation" is over and the person is in game.

I'm trying to combine a little of LP/LD and SMAUG to create something like my old MUD used to be... so I'll have more questions later i'm sure.

You can use mpmset to set the sex, class, and race I think. The problem is that you just can't set those to "nothing" to start with. 0 for the sex a neutral sex.

mpmset doesn't work on players if i recall correctly

Well then, Daius will have to either create a new function (mppset) where mobs can set players or something like that. Or just remove the restrictions on mpmset, although I'm not sure if that would cause issues.

Samson did something sort of like that for AFK, maybe you could look in to how he did it?

Zeno is right, it should be really simple to have mpmset work on players. Just remove the if-check that aborts if the target is a player. And make sure that you are very, very careful with where you use mpmset in areas...

I'm going to open my project to outside help. I seem to be lacking the brain power to get MOB and Area programs working correctly. I think this is mainly my fault, but non the less I need help. If your intrested in helping me, you can IM me on AIM at LordDaius, or ShattersOnImpact or Email me at LordDaius@aol.com

Your time may be more rewarded building on another mud than starting up a mud on your own.
