You also much want to make sure that you -have- the delay trigger/prog
installed. I don't know if its stock or not, so do make sure you have it
before trying to use it.

It dosn't work because you are not using the mob delay function correctly.
Its
used in the following manner:
this mob has TWO PROGRAMS.. one that happens with a GRALL trigger, and the
other one with a DELAY trigger.
Program A: (with trigger GRALL 100)
mob delay 3
Program B: (with trigger DELAY 100, which means that the delay has a 100%
chance of firing when 3 ticks are up)
say Hello player!
If you want to put the name of the player into the greeting in program B,
make
sure that you use MOB REMEMBER $n in program A, and then use the $q
variable
in program B. Remember that one mob can only have one delayed program, but
there are ways around this. For example, some muds have a "stepdelay"
trigger
that fires each time a tick passes, and others simply have a statement that
is called "delay" which makes the mob wait until its over (not standard in
stock mobprog apps, and is quite complicated to make, so I've heard.)
However, do realize that the mob program systems of different muds are not
always the same, and what is true here may not be true for you.
