depends on if the npc is an obj or a mob but for now we will call it an obj
// < is a note meaning any line with // anything after the // until a new line is a note
obj
    verb
        Talk()
//          set src in range(2)
//          usr<<"NPC: msg"
// This one above this msg is rather simple this is just when someone uses the talk verb when the npc 
//is on the screen it sends them the single msg below is a little more complex an allows the user to 
//select what they want to talk to the npc about. Also you might want to use a set src in range(2) 
//or something so they need to be rather close to the npc before they get the verb. I will place 
//an example of set src in range(2) being 
//used in both the above an below options.

//          set src in range(2)
//          ab
//          switch(input("What do you need?","Info")in list("Tell me something","Tell me something else","Bye"))
//              if("Tell me something")
//                  usr<<"NPC: Option 1 reply."
//                  goto ab
//              if("Tell me something else")
//                  usr<<"NPC: another reply"
//                  goto ab
//              if("Bye")
//                  return

lots of ways to do it.

NPCs do not need to be mobs, because mobs are per definition containers for players.

It's perfectly logical to make NPCs mobs if you ask me. As, by definition, mobs are mobile objects. I would just do it intuitively. Like make swords objs, people mobs, dogs mobs, pens objs, mountains turfs and so on.

Mobs are containers for clients, nothing more and nothing less. It makes more sense to make NPCs objs, since they're not controlled by the player.

If I were to implement NPCs I would just do it like this:
npc/parent_type=/obj


Done.

I don't see anything in the reference that says mobs are just containers for clients. But really, there's not a whole world of difference between mobs and objs. In theory, you could make your entire game objs (except of course the clients).

Any mapping such as ground, trees, water all should be turf unless you need something else in some cases obj is used for like example tree's..

However you can make it all w/e you want you can make it turf, obj, mob etc. It is all based on how you want to do it there really isnt a right way though most people do it one way. :P
