Object Surprise! Mob appears and attacks player! [by John Melvin III]

WHAT IT DOES:

When a player opens the object this spec proc is on, it loads a mob which essentially bashes the player, attacks, and the object can no longer open or close (to prevent repeating this incessantly for exp).

WHAT YOU NEED:

1 cup - MUD
1 teaspoon - Your own prefences
1 liter - spec_procs.c

Here's the snippet:

SPECIAL(coffin) /* My code was for one of three vampires would jump out and attack the opener of the coffin. Feel free to change the spec proc name as it might not suit you if you're planning to have your beastly fido jump out and maul the player */
{
  int vnum = 0;
  struct obj_data *obj = (struct obj_data *) me;
  struct char_data *mob;
  ACMD(do_hit);

  if (CMD_IS("open")) {
    if (!str_cmp("coffin", obj->name)) {
	    GET_OBJ_VAL(obj, 1) = 0;
	    vnum = real_mobile(number(2300, 2302)); /* This is just to have it random pick between the three vampires using their vnums. You should probably change it to the vnum (or random vnums) you want it to load. */
	    mob = read_mobile(vnum, REAL);
       act("As you open the coffin, $N jumps out and tackles you to the ground!", FALSE, ch, 0, mob,TO_CHAR);
       act("As $n opens the coffin, $N jumps out and tackles $m to the ground!", FALSE, ch, 0, mob,TO_ROOM);
       act("Going into a blood frenzy, $E attacks you!", FALSE, ch, 0, mob,TO_CHAR);
       act("Going into a blood frenzy, $E attacks $m!", FALSE, ch, 0, mob,TO_ROOM); /* Ahh, flavor text. */
	    GET_POS(ch) = POS_SITTING; /* Bash, essentially. */
       WAIT_STATE(ch, PULSE_VIOLENCE * 2); /* Please allow 2 to 3 tics for delivery. */
	    char_to_room(mob, ch->in_room);
	    do_hit(mob, GET_NAME(ch), 0, 0); // Start the mob fighting the player. Hiiiiyyaaa! */
	    return TRUE;
    }
  }
  return FALSE;
}


Let stand, uncovered for 1 compile or until severely charred.
