How did you manage to go through the guides and not know how to individually set stats?

In the code you are defining single mobs only. You can place multiple ones around the map but they'll all be the same. You have to make multiple enemies to give them different stats.

Well he linked you to a post that could improve your skills so that you can code a system as this.

It shouldn't take you long since this is very easy to do.

hm...ok by what i said...could u post about 2-3 mobs so i can see what to do?

the way i've been trying is like

mob1
var
hp
str
xp

mob2
var
hp
str
xp

easy to say they conflict...and i have no clue how to get death or lvlup with different vars

so if you could code like 2 mobs i'd be VERY!!! appreciative

The best way would be to do something like this
mob/npc/var
    str
    dex
    int
    expgain
    str_a=0
    dex_a=0
    int_a=0
    exp_a=0
    level=1
mob/npc/troll
    str_a=3
    dex_a=1
    int_a=1
    exp_a=10
    New(loc,imputed_level)
        ..()
        if(imputed_level)src.level=imputed_level
        src.str= 15+src.level*str_a
        src.dex=8+src.level*src.dex_a
        src.int= 2+src.level*int_a
        src.expgain=src.exp_a


The idea here is, you define an npc and give it variables that represent attributes PER level, you then add in some static level 0 attribute levels (strength=15 at level0) and the npc will be given stats that are representative of its level without having to define each monster in the code. Now why is this helpful besides saving lines? when mapping your monsters right click and edit the level variables of them (or dynamically generating them, then use New(locate(x,y,z),level) ) you then have a quick an easy way to have monsters of the same type but many level varieties!

how exactly do i use xp? and expgain?

on the characters side of things

In response to Zomo
my example was for monsters. When youd kill a monster expgain would be how much experience youd get :o

It completly depends how your leveling up and death system works im afraid. Not a simple question youll need to work on your "code reading comprehension" a bit by reading the DM guide before you can expect to do anything to exciting with your game.

hmm, i was reading this and thought, well what if the usr died while fighting, can you put a line saying something along the rough lines of,

 if(usr.HP=>0)
       M.EXP += (rand 10,100)
     if(M.EXPN = M.EXP)
       M.LVL += 1)


so, if it were a way to make monsters evolve with the game ..... i am pretty new to coding, but its interesting
