at tbamud im in room 5011 Dracolich is aggr, i dont have nohassle on, and he dont attack, same problem on my test mud. Then again other aggr mobs seems to work and attack me.

Anyone know why aggr only works some times ?

I can even make 2 different mobs and give both excatly the same npc flags, but only 1 attacks, the other dont.

Mob can't see player to attack. Switch into the mob and type look.

Perhaps the HELPER flag overrides the AGGR flag so the MOB won't attack unless it sees the PC attacking another MOB in the same room. From help medit-npc:

12) HELPER The mob will attack any player it sees in the room that is
fighting with a mobile in the room. Useful for groups of
mobiles that travel together; i.e. three snakes in a pit, to
force players to fight all three simultaneously instead of
picking off one at a time.

I grepped HELPER in my local copy of the code base this (for me) morning. In mobact.c I found this.

Code:
/* Aggressive Mobs */ if (!MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_HELPER) && (!AFF_FLAGGED(ch, AFF_BLIND) || !AFF_FLAGGED(ch, AFF_CHARM))) { found = FALSE; for (vict = world[IN_ROOM(ch)].people; vict && !found; vict = vict->next_in_room) { if (IS_NPC(vict) || !CAN_SEE(ch, vict) || PRF_FLAGGED(vict, PRF_NOHASSLE)) continue; if (MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_WIMPY) && AWAKE(vict)) continue; if (MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_AGGRESSIVE ) || (MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_AGGR_EVIL ) && IS_EVIL(vict)) || (MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_AGGR_NEUTRAL) && IS_NEUTRAL(vict)) || (MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_AGGR_GOOD ) && IS_GOOD(vict))) { /* Can a master successfully control the charmed monster? */ if (aggressive_mob_on_a_leash(ch, ch->master, vict)) continue; hit(ch, vict, TYPE_UNDEFINED); found = TRUE; } } }

So yes, the HELPER flag does override AGGR. That explains the behaviour of the dracolich when the HELPER flag is set.
