===Prop_SafePet===
Effect:	Unattackable Pets
Targets:	MOB
Parameters:	MSG="NEW DISPLAY MESSAGE"
Examples:	MSG="<S-NAME> is forbidden to harm <T-NAMESELF>."
Description:	Makes the mob with this property completely unattackable. The default message can be changed with parameters.

Prop_SafePet is a property that you may place on Mobs and Items to prevent them from being targets of combat. This is useful for quest-giver type mobs that you don't want players to destroy (thereby griefing other players with an inability to pick-up or turn-in quests) or for public transports (GenSailingShips with a patroller behavior of some sort) that you don't want other players to sink.

It does not protect from all affects, so when you find a player inappropriately harrassing your SafePet, you may need to manually adjust the MOB to protect it further. For example, players may find a way to move the mob from its room in some fashion, requiring a builder to put specific Prop_Resistance or WanderHomeLater or other affects.

Prop_SafePet will prevent the mob from dying (such as through suffocation/inability to breath), an advantage over just setting the unattackable flag.

Notes

• MOBs with Prop_SafePet will not be calculated in the area's stats, therefore won't show up on the HELP or affect the WHERE results.
• Players hate this property because they have fewer interaction options with the MOB. Use this property carefully.
• In general, shopkeepers should be level appropriate mobs WITHOUT this property.
• You can also add this property to a GenSailingShip to prevent it from being a valid ship-combat target.
