a darn good reason for doing this.)

Also give it detect invis so the summoner can't hide invisibly while the mob kills everyone else! All in all it's best to NOT make the thing have more than 1 charge and for the mob NOT to be aggro.

(1 is 100%, 2 is 50%, 3 is 33%, etc)
VALUE[1]: First vnum in range
VALUE[2]: Last vnum in range
VALUE[3]: Sum of sector types to be included

Note, this is confusing, because SECTOR_INSIDE is the first type, and although it's value is 0 in the .wld file, for the purpose of this object it has to be 1, and each of the following sector types also have to follow the standard BIT format, so that the summation works. For instance, if you wanted to include sector types CITY (bit 2) and FIELD (bit 4), the sum value would be 6.

VALUE[4]: That's right, value 4...if this is 0 or left blank, the distro object will not distribute to !teleport rooms. If the field is 1, then the !tele flag is ignored, and mobs will distribute to these rooms.
VALUE[5]: Much the same as 4, but with NO_MOB rooms. If the field is 1, then the object will distribute to NO_MOB rooms, but if 0 it won't.

therefore is recommended that you make your object no_show

ITEM_RANDOM_ENCOUNTER: (45)

VALUE[0]: Percent chance for an encounter to happen, 1-100
VALUE[1]: Maximum players/combat pets in the room for encounter to fire. If this value is 2 and there are 3 pc's in the room, it will not happen.
