Scripting Do's and Dont's

• Do not overtax your scripts for performing actions. A maximum of 25 actions may be taken by a given script per tick. This limit is there to prevent bad scripts from destroying the mud. If more than 25 actions are attempted and error will be thrown similar to:
  • Scripting Error: ...script/UNK/SYS/Attempt to que more than 25 events.
  • To fix a script taking too many actions, review the number of events the script is attempting to handle for a given item/mob/room, and see if it is possible that it is generating many of those message in rapid succession.
• The death_prog works before the moment of death of a mob, enabling a builder to take a variety of actions, from emotes of the dying mob to protecting the mob from death. As such, this prog needs to be used with care.
  • Transferring a character away from a mob using a death_prog will result in the character being penalized for fleeing a fight.
