Ok, I was pretty well flamed yesterday when I was looking for help, but
I
am going to try again. The look_at_target that is made after the
dynamic boards
2.2 is put in has one medium sized bug: You can only read stuff in a
room
that has a board in it.
I have worked for 24 hours (nearly 16 straight on this one thing) and
have
thoroughly worn out my brain.
Anyway, here is strange part of look_at_target
void look_at_target(struct char_data * ch, char *arg, int read)
{
int bits, found = 0, j, msg=1;
struct char_data *found_char = NULL;
struct obj_data *obj = NULL, *found_obj = NULL;
char *desc;
char number[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
if (!ch->desc)
return;
if (!*arg) {
send_to_char("Look at what?\r\n", ch);
return;
}
/* start problem */
if (read) {
for (obj = ch->carrying; obj;obj=obj->next_content) {
if (GET_OBJ_TYPE(obj) == ITEM_BOARD) {
found=1;
break;
}
}
if(!obj) {
for (obj = world[ch->in_room].contents; obj;obj=obj->next_content)
{
if (GET_OBJ_TYPE(obj) == ITEM_BOARD) {
found=1;
break;
}
}
}
if (obj) {
arg = one_argument(arg, number);
if (!*number)
send_to_char("Read what?\r\n",ch);
if (isname(number, obj->name)) {
Board_show_board(GET_OBJ_VNUM(obj), ch);
}
/* Okay, here i'm faced with the fact that the person could be
entering in something like 'read 5' or 'read 4.mail' .. so,
whats the
difference between the two? Well, there's a period in the
second,
so, we'll just stick with that basic difference */
else if ((!isdigit(*number) || (!(msg = atoi(number)))) ||
(strchr(number,'.'))) {
sprintf(arg,"%s %s", number,arg);
look_at_target(ch, arg, 0);
} arg = one_argument(arg, number);
if (!*number)
send_to_char("Read what?\r\n",ch);

I'm sorry for the trouble, maybe you can help.... Thanks
