Or, if you don't want to make code changes, you can set up a 'godroom tree
structure' like I had talked about earlier.
For example, you can set the mob to be scavenger then do something like this:
1
/ \
v v
/ \
2-->--3
|
v
|
4
Where 1 is the room the mob hobgoblin loads, 2 is the room the purple
potion loads, 3 is the room the blue potion loads, and 4 is the room the
hobgoblin ends up in (where players can attack it)
Then you just let the game randomly decide which room the hobgoblin will
wander into and if he'll pick up a potion before wandering into the next
room.
