DELAY Keyword : 'delay'

Argument: number

Explanation: The argument is a percentage chance. This trigger activates when the delay of a mobile (set with the MOB DELAY command) expires. This trigger can be used to create staged mobile behaviour, for example, a guardian could see a player entering a room, give a warning and activate a delay. If the player is still present when the delay expires, the guard would attack the player. (See also MOB REMEMBER). A mobile can have several delay triggers, but every time the delay timer expires, all the triggers are checked and the first successful one executed.

Note: “MOB DELAY” is not implemented for lua scripting. It is suggested to use “random 100” triggers and control variables to create similar functionality.

Example: “Addmp 1000 delay 100” if the mob delay expires, the delay mprog will always trigger. (A better example of delay can be find at the end of this guide.)
