The simplest way to implement it I can think of would be to have a mob with a spec_proc that lets you type "commision armor" and then puts you into a note editor where you can give the description you want (and maybe specify some affects). Then the mob deducts some gold and says "Ok, come back in a week." The description gets automagically posted to some board or mailed as a note to some god, who actually goes ahead and creates the item and puts it in a crash-saved room. Then later, the person comes back, says "pick up armor", and the mob looks in the special room for armor with their name on it. If it's there, they get it, if not, the mob says "sorry, I'm not done with it yet." Seems pretty doable. If you wanted, you could even get fancy and make it all done automatically, but then you'll probably get players running around with "<wielded> MY DICK!!!!! ha ha ha", and we don't want that, do we? -- dan shiovitz scythe@u.washington.edu shiov@cs.washington.edu slightly lost author/programmer in a world of more creative or more sensible people ... remember to speak up for freedom because no one else will do it for you: use it or lose it ... carpe diem -- be proactive. my web site: http://weber.u.washington.edu/~scythe/home.html some ok stuff. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | | Or send 'info circle' to majordomo@cspo.queensu.ca | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
