I missed a few things in the code. Basically, if the alternate item/object
loads, it doesn't prevent the first from loading next time around.
if you have something like:
load moba 50%
otherwise load mobb 50%
otherwise load mobc 100%
Nothing prevents moba and mobb from loading if mobc loads.
Or, nothing prevents mobc loading if moba loads.
This is hard to explain, but this code checks all the next (if_flag = 2)
commands and previous commands to see if any of those mobs/objects are
loaded. Some tweaking will be needed if you want more than one object
or mob from loading (i.e. check the max loads).
