Out of curiousity, (as I don't use mob progs to do mine), how flexible is that implementation? Are you able to complete step 7 without first doing step 1 if they aren't related? Are you able to have a step where doing either action 1 or action 2 will advance you to the following step? How about timed responses that happen X ticks after an event?
I've heard mob progs are pretty powerful, but I've never actually played around with it since I'm on rom2.3 and I'd have to patch it in by hand. I'm trying to decide if I would actually gain any new functionality in my quest system by adding it, or if it would only really benefit me in non-quest areas of the mud (I separate the two). I'll check out that snip you mentioned. TIA, Kahlus. > Heh, funny you mentioned this.
