Okay, what I want to do, is every area reset, the code will go through all the mobs with certain ifchecks, and a random chance. If all is true, it will set an act flag on the mobs. I've nearly done this, except for that if the mob is already in the area, it won't set it. Here's the code, in reset.c, reset_area:


      if ( pMobIndex->count >= pReset->arg2 )
      {
        mob = NULL;
        break;
      }

      mob = create_mobile(pMobIndex);

        chance = number_range( 0, 25 );
        if ( chance == 24 && !xIS_SET(mob->act, ACT_PACIFIST ) && !xIS_SET(mob->act, ACT_SHARD_NEVER ) &&
                   !xIS_SET(mob->act, ACT_PROTOTYPE ) )
        {
          sprintf ( buf, "Loading shard on %s.", mob->name );
          to_channel( buf, CHANNEL_SHARDMONITOR, "ShardMonitor", LEVEL_SUB_IMPLEM );
          xSET_BIT(mob->act, ACT_HAS_SHARD);
          mob->hitroll *= 2;
          mob->damroll *= 2;
        }

      {
        ROOM_INDEX_DATA *pRoomPrev = get_room_index(pReset->arg3 - 1);

        if ( pRoomPrev && IS_SET(pRoomPrev->room_flags, ROOM_PET_SHOP) )
          xSET_BIT(mob->act, ACT_PET);
      }
      if ( room_is_dark(pRoomIndex) )
          xSET_BIT(mob->affected_by, AFF_INFRARED);

Now the flag will be set if the mob isn't in the area, and there's a reset for it, but not if the mob is not in the area. How do I change this, so it will check/set all mobs?

Yeah, I know why its not working. You have that check in the section of code that creates mobs. If the mob doesn't need to be created, then this check will be completely missed. You probably want something above the check for if it should create it or not. Like in here:

      if ( pMobIndex->count >= pReset->arg2 )
      {
        /* here would work, I think, you just have to use each instance of the mob from here */
        mob = NULL;
        break;
      }

Nobody ever expects the spanish inquisition!

Doesn't work. The mob is null.

I thought it might be a few mobs that were null, so I made an ifcheck if ( mob ) but it didn't find any mobs at all that time. reset_area is the only function that this would work on I think, but I can't seem to get it to work.
