That's how I'd do that on my mud using my mob scripting language.
As far as regular mob progs, all you need is the MGET, QSET and the
test for a person having a QBIT.
A QBIT is a linked list of sh_int's stored on a player, and saved when
they rent.
struct qbit_data {
sh_int number;
struct qbit_data *next;
};
Each player gets a pointer to their qbit list..
int get_qbit(struct char_data *ch, int which_bit) {
struct qbit_data *qbit;
if (ch->player_specials->qbits)
for(qbit=ch->player_specials->qbits;qbit;qbit=qbit->next)
if (qbit->number = which_bit)
return 1;
return 0;
}
void set_qbit(struct char_data *ch, int which_bit) {
struct qbit_data *qbit;
if (get_qbit(ch, which_bit))
return;
CREATE(qbit, struct qbit_data, 1);
if (!ch->player_specials->qbits) {
qbit->next=0;
ch->player_specials->qbits = qbit;
} else {
qbit->next = ch->player_specials->qbits;
ch->player_specials->qbits = qbit;
}
qbit->number = which_bit;
}
MGET is a lookup function for several things. In this script it
was used to determine if a mob (the princess) was in the
room. Shouldn't be too hard to add that to mobprogs.
The idea is that info like that is stored on the player, as
opposed to the mob. I do have a system I call ABITs which
are the same as qbits, except that mobs and players have
pointers to their lists and they are purged when the player
rents or the mob/player dies.
Hope this helped..
