I don't know if I brought this up before, I'm sure I have, but you
never can tell...
For me, having invisible, untouchable mobs with mobprogs on them
seems hackish. Has anyone created room and obj mobprogs? I mean, i guess
mobprogs would be a funny thing to call it, but you get my drift neh? It
should be able to use the same interpreter stuff (with mods from mob
structs to mob/obj/room structs depending..) and just clean up some of the
functions (mptrans depends on ->in_room i'm guessing), and then.. uh..
stick it in there..... Seems like it would be better than secondguessing
whether or not area affects will cause the invisible guy to be hit, or if
a new skill makes a check to see if they're okay...
Just curious mostly. I'm sure i'll put it in,
sometime in the distant future.
