group list var (mob)

Default value

(empty list)

This is a list of mobs in the same group. By default, a mob will swap positions with another mob in its group if bumped. It is also possible to make verbs that are accessible only to members of the group.

The following example handles addition of somebody else to your group.

mob/verb/join(mob/M)
   usr.group.Add(M)    // add M to usr's group
   view() << "[usr] joins [M]."
mob/verb/disband(mob/M)
   usr.group.Remove(M) // remove M from group
   view() << "[usr] disbands [M]."

Note that group lists may be asymmetric. Mob A may have mob B in his group list, but mob B may or may not. It is up to you to define whether mobs are added into both lists or not.

Here is an example of a verb accessible to a group:

mob/verb/summon()
   set src in usr.group
   loc = usr.loc
   view() << "[usr] summons [src]."
