MUDL:Construct

Overview

This MUDL function gets called when:

• The room containing the MUDL procedure is created (boot)
• The area containing the MUDL procedure is created (boot)
• The mobile containing the MUDL procedure is created
• The procedure's PROC_ENABLED value is set to a non-zero value.

This is the perfect spot to initialize variables in the MUDL script. For mobiles, the constructor is called after the mobile is placed in a room.
