You might want to look up on sleep() and spawn().
Consider that you could temporarily set the loc of an atom to null, if you want to recycle mobs, or you could set an event loop that triggers and initialises new mobs.

it hav to look like this?

mob
    proc
        DeathCheck()
            if(src.HP <= 0)
                view() << "[src] was kill!"
                src.HP = 30
                src.Move(locate(2,10,1))
                spawn(100)
                usr.str += .25
                usr.def += 1

i used it like that but it dont do the delay

huh, usr is null in procs dude, plus the thing you want to use is sleep() not spawn() there.

spawn() and sleep() are used in a different way.

Ex:

mob
    proc
        testproc()
            src<<"the 3 ticks passed"
    verb
        SpawnTest()
            spawn(30)
                //everything here works
                //after the x time inside the spawn()
                testproc()
//spawn allows the part here to keep going
            usr<<"0 ticks"
        SleepTest()
            usr<<"0 tick"
            sleep(30)
//everything here works after 3 seconds
            usr.testproc()
