Wait states are checked on descriptor input every pulse (this happens in comm.c, in the game_loop). Since they don't have an input buffer or any of that nice stuff, it's really only possible to call interpret or the do_* function on mobs directly, so the commands go straight through. Your best bet for getting mob delays is to set up some sort of command queue, and add to that queue inside of interpret and wherever functions are called directly. Then each pulse, run through the queue(s) and execute the command. Another way is to buffer mob commands the way players do. That might be easier in terms of integrating into the current code, but could get really ugly for CPU and memory usage. --Palrich.
