The IF Check Help Files

Many of these help files have been rewritten by Tiki from Realms of Despair.

Every attempt has been made to ensure the syntax is correct and the commands function as intended, however if a command fails to function or gives you an 'unknown command' error on your MUD, chances are the MPCommand is specific to Realms of Despair.

If the target char is deadly, it will return true.

The ISPKILL ifcheck can be used in MOB, OBJECT, or ROOM programs to determine if the target char is a deadly player.

Note: While a player may be flagged as 'deadly', they may not be legally able to participate in pkilling if they aren't at the minimum age (18) and level (5). To see if they've met that requirement, use CANPKILL.

IFCHECK CANPKILL

Example:

if canpkill($n)
mpe 0.$n You'd better start running, $n...

If $n is officially a deadly, gives them a warning.

The CANPKILL ifcheck can be used in MOB, OBJECT, or ROOM programs to determine if the target is 'legally' a deadly, which means:
- minimum age of 18
- minimum level of 5
- flagged pkill.

Note: To see if a char is flagged deadly regardless of age/level, use ISPKILL.

if isflagged($n,justtesting,2)
mpe $n's justtesting flag's second bit is on!

If the target char or mob's second bit in their 'justtesting' flag is turned on.

The ISFLAGGED ifcheck can be used in MOB, OBJECT, or ROOM programs to determine if the target char or mob has been flagged with a particular variable, and has a given bit turned on. The format is: isflagged(<target>, <variable>, <bit testing for>)

Note: If you want to check only for the _presence_ of a 'bit' flag, the ifcheck 'ISTAGGED' can be used.

IFCHECK ISTAGGED

Example:

if istagged($n,testflag)
mpe $n is tagged with the 'testflag' variable.

If the target mob or char is tagged with the variable 'testflag' it will return true, regardless of the variable's value.

Example:

if istagged($n,testflag) == bob
mpe $n's 'testflag' variable's value is 'bob'.

If the target mob or char is tagged with the variable 'testflag' which has a value of 'bob', it will return true.

Example:

if istagged($n,testflag) >= 10
mpe $n's 'testflag' variable's value is >= 10.

If the target mob or char is tagged with the variable 'testflag' which has a numerical value greater or equal to 10, it will return true.

The ISTAGGED ifcheck can be used in MOB, OBJECT, or ROOM programs to determine if the target char or mob has been tagged with a specified variable, and to test the value of that variable as well. When used with a numeric value, it can be tested using ">", "<", etc., as well.

Note: While you can use ISTAGGED to check for the presence of a bitflag, you must use the 'ISFLAGGED' ifcheck to check the flag's value.

IFCHECK PCFLAGGED

Example:

if pcflagged($n)==norecall
mpe $n won't be leaving here anytime soon...

If the player is set 'norecall', the ifcheck would return true.

The PCFLAGGED ifcheck can be used in MOB, ROOM or OBJECT programs to determine if a player is flagged with the given flag.

If the target char's rank is 'Guildmaster', it will return true.

The RANK ifcheck can be used in MOB, OBJECT, or ROOM programs to determine the rank of the target char.

Note: Please note that ranks CAN be changed by imms, and this is not a reliable method to check for clan leaders, imms of certain levels, or nation leaders.

IFCHECK MULTI

Example:

if multi($n) == 4
mpe $n has four chars logged on!

Example:

if multi($n)
mpe $n has more than one character logged!

The MULTI ifcheck can be used in MOB, OBJECT, or ROOM programs to determine if the target char is has other chars logged, or to determine the number of chars the target has logged into the game.

Note: If at all possible, use AREAMULTI ifcheck as it only checks the current area and is less taxing on system resources.

IFCHECK AREAMULTI

Example:

if areamulti($n) > 4
mpe $n has more than four chars logged in this area!

Example:

if areamulti($n)
mpe $n has more than one char logged in this area!

The AREAMULTI ifcheck can be used in MOB, OBJECT, or ROOM programs to determine if the target char is multying in the current area, or to determine the number of PCs the target has logged into the game that are in the area of the checker.

Note: If at all possible, use this command before using the ifcheck 'MULTI', as it checks the entire mud.

IFCHECK ISNPC

IFCHECK ISRIDING

Example:

if isriding($n)
say $n is riding on me!

If $n is riding the mob with the program, it will return true.

The ISRIDING ifcheck can be used in MOB programs to determine if the given variable is riding the mob.

Note: Only the mob triggering the program will be checked for the rider $n. You cannot use anything like "if isriding($n)==8452". It will ignore the anything after the parentheses.

IFCHECK ISFOLLOW

Example:

if isfollow($n)
mpe $n isn't much of a leader!

If the target char or mob is following another char or mob, it will return true.

The ISFOLLOW ifcheck can be used in MOB, OBJECT, or ROOM programs to determine if the target char or mob is following another char or mob.

If the mob is flagged 'stopscript', it will return true.

The STOPSCRIPT ifcheck can be used in MOB, OBJECT, or ROOM programs to determine if the target mob is flagged 'stopscript' and unable to run scripts. This flag can be toggled using the command MPMSET.
