MUDL:Construct
From SlothMUD Wiki
Overview
This MUDL function gets called when:
- The room containing the MUDL procedure is created (boot)
- The area containing the MUDL procedure is created (boot)
- The mobile containing the MUDL procedure is created
- The procedure's PROC_ENABLED value is set to a non-zero value.
This is the perfect spot to initialize variables in the MUDL script. For mobiles, the constructor is called after the mobile is placed in a room.
