How would I code this...I want it so theres a monster icon walking around the world in the game. And when it bump's into you you got to a battle arena were there's a background and a picture of the monster, more then 1 square. And from there I can pick to attack the monster or run away. I have the code for the monster and attacking but i need you to tell me were it goes and can you please tell me the run code?

I would guess the run code would be like...
mob
       verb
           Run()
               rand(2,5,7)
           if(2)
               usr << "You ran away!"
               return
           else  
               usr << "Sorry you fail."


That's just a quess. Any help? Thanks

Very Close.
mob
       verb
           Run()
               var/RANDOM=rand(2,5,7)
               if(RANDOM==2)
                   usr << "You ran away!"
                   return
               else  
                   usr << "Sorry you fail."

I doubt that works. What does rand(2,5,7) do?

What do you want to do? I think it might be something like this:

mob
  var/surrounded = FALSE
  verb
    Run()
      if(prob(33) || surrounded)
        src << "You run away!"
      else
        src << "You are surrounded!"
        surrounded = TRUE


And for the wandering mob, check out walk_rand() or step() and get_dir() for "chasing" action.

Aaand, figure some stuff out for yourself. Just play with stuff until you get something you like. I doubt that you spend enough time tinkering around. If you do, and I'm wrong, excuse me.

Hmm... I know I shouldn't add this here but: is this game based on Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time? What you are trying to do reminds me of that game >.>; Funny how Mario games are addictive like Super Peach Princes.. >_<
