Actually, the to variable is defined in the following way, in act():
to = world[ch->in_room].people;
else if (obj && obj->in_room != NOWHERE)
to = world[obj->in_room].people;
else {
log("SYSERR: no valid target to act()!");
return;
}
I want to use act() instead of send because it already uses the
PERS macro to determine whether each recepiant of the mssg can even
see the char/obj in question (obj in this case)., Ie
"A long sword falls out of the sky." as opposed to
"Something falls out of the sky."...
