Here's kind of a general idea(though it may not be the best way of accomplishing this) create an index that saves to file and in it have vnum of room and vnum of the item. and then a pointer to the next one. then have a bury command which would push an item onto that index, and an dig command that would pop it off.. then if someone did a "dig" in your room, check and see if that room is on the list, if so, move the object into the room, or into their inventory. Then you have some other things to consider as well..like multiple things buried in one room.. This feature would be quite useful and neat, buried treasure, a murderer might bury the corpse...etc.. -josh +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
