Er... it's been a few hours and nobody's answered him... oh well. I guess I will... the least I can do for leeching off of this list... haha. 1. If you want a mob to react to something being said to it, add a check in it's spec_proc for the cmd being say, tell, whisper, etc... and proceed from there by checking the arg passed to it (which will be the text the player typed.) Also, you may want to pass the cmd on to the do_XXX function it belongs to so it will still tell the player... -> You tell $n '...' etc.. And also return a TRUE value after all the stuff is done. 2. For a player action, same thing. Most of the time the cmds for player actions will likely be socials, which all use do_action(cmd,0,0,0);, if you look in the master command table. 3. Now here is the problem... spec_procs are called BEFORE a cmd is executed by the interpreter, so a reaction upon entering the room cannot be done without changing how the spec_proc system works. What you can do is make it so that spec_procs also get called AFTER a cmd is executed, and maybe add another arg to the SPECIAL() prototype so that you can specify whether it is after or before the mentioned action... (gee.. I think I may do this.. :P). Or, you can add something to the do_move() function, but extending the spec_proc system is probably the better way to go. - mendar Alvoria MUD -- Where things aren't quite the same...
