Targeting Characters This function will loop through players in the room and look for a non-cleric/non-templar character to be assigned the 'target' or 'tank' role. Then it looks for a character who is a cleric or templar to assign them as the primary healer. The third character in the room will be assigned as the 'third' variable, allowing for easier targeting by the NPC.

FIGHT Keyword : 'fight' Argument: number Explanation: The argument is again a percentile chance to trigger the mprog. Every fighting round, the mob will check the percentile chance, if the roll is right, the mprog will trigger. This can be used to make the mob cast spells or use skills. Example: “Addmp 1000 fight 50” Every round, there is a 50% chance the mob triggers the mprog, and start casting some spells, or taunts his enemy.
