When you dig or bury there's a cost... a wait state is set, and movement is subtracted... the exact movement cost and length of wait state is dependant on the room sector... so unless you have a LOT of moves and have no place to be quick, it would be a pain in the ass to alias tintin like that... (for memory and processor time however I did something much simpler then having the buried items in the game, but I'm a little too proud of this code still to give many details yet) Brazil +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
