A method which would be more flexible would be to create an apply for objects called something like DRINK_SPELL which would take a spell number as its modifier (you could work directly with aff bitvectors as well, but with spells you don't need to worry about removing it later) and cast the spell on whoever drinks from the item (with a little tweaking of the do_drink code, or whatever it's called). Extending this a little to make it a bit more "realistic" (tm), you could also adjust the fill & pour code so that whatever you were filling or pouring into would acquire the same DRINK_SPELL as the container from which you are filling/pouring - and you could remove the flag once the drink container was empty. Similarly you could also create an EAT_SPELL which would cast a spell on whoever ate the item.... Just another idea for you. :) Graham Gilmore +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
