A few things: you forgot to end your if { } (note the }!)
and switch is nestable, so you can put
switch mob
case mob
switch obj
case obj
etc...

This is a toughie. The special is called before the actual command is done,
so the only thing you know is that the player gives something, with
CMD_IS("give"). Problem with that is that the player could be giving to
someone else. So you should call do_give, with the correct parameters,
(which you can find in the define of ACMD and SPECIAL, sorry, it's
getting late here...) and then see if your inventory changed. If it
changed, the pointer to your inventory is the object that is given (I
hope, but this is the way it is done the whole time in Circle, so...), so
you can check if it was changed with a temp. Then you know the object and
as such the rest of the program.
A few important points:
in the define of SPECIAL you will see amongst other things a void* me. me
is the mob/obj/room that is doing the special, IF THERE IS A COMMAND!
Otherwise, it is null. (Mobs get called every so often to refresh etc)
So you should check if the command is not 0, then if it is give.
Second point: A SPECIAL should return TRUE or FALSE, FALSE when it did
not process the command.
So when it was give and you passed it to do_give, don't forget to return
TRUE. Otherwise, return FALSE.
so your code would be:
if (!cmd_num) /* or whatever that variable was again */
return FALSE;
if (CMD_IS("give")) {
save pointer
run do_give
check pointer
<your stuff>
return TRUE;
} else
return FALSE;
