Proc:Self Destruct

Overview

The self_destruct procedure allows builders to create mobiles that self destruct when certain conditions occur. Any items on the mobile are placed in room 10 (RAID Junk Room) when the mobile is destroyed.

Here is a list of keys that the procedure will use:

Key	Default	Description
TRIGGERS	<none>	A colon separated list of the triggers that will cause the mobile to self destruct. Supported values are: EMPTY_ROOM - No mortal PCs in the room EMPTY_AREA - No mortal PCs in the area AREA_RESET - Area reset trigger
DELAY_SECONDS	0	The amount of time that the trigger must be activated before the mobile is destroyed. The game checks the trigger state approximately every 10 seconds.
TRIGGER_STARTED_ROOM_MSG	No message.	The message that is displayed to players in the room when the mobile's trigger is first activated. Given the current list of supported triggers, this is only something than an immortal or familiar might see.
TRIGGER_STOPPED_ROOM_MSG	No message.	The message that is displayed to players in the room when the mobile's trigger is first deactivated. This would be when a player renters a room or area that was previously empty.
DESTRUCT_ROOM_MSG	No message.	The message that is displayed to players in the room when the mobile is destroyed. Given the current list of supported triggers, this is only something than an immortal or familiar might see.
