When a character or mobile is created, you add there alignment (divide by 10 so it doesn't get too high) into the global align. When they are taken out of the game, you adjust align again to account for it. For instance: // player enters GlobalAlignment += GET_ALIGNMENT(ch) / 10; // player leaves GlobalAlignment -= GET_ALIGNEMNT(ch) / 10; Essentially, if the players alignment is 1000, they add 100 to the GlobalAlignment, and 100 is subtracted when they leave. If they have a negative alignemnt, say -1000, they add -100 to the global align (adding a negative is the same as subtracting), and when they leave, they subtract -100 (subtracting a negative [eg, a double negative, as in English] is the same as adding). -- Daniel Koepke dkoepke@california.com Forgive me father, for I am sin. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
