Works great if you 'kill gu', but if you ever get players you'll probably
gets complaints when people can't figure out why 'kill guard' doesn't
work.
In the interest of putting this topic to rest, here's a drop-in
replacement for get_char_vis that will search for players before mobs when
doing a global character search. It'll fix tell, goto, at, trans, etc.
struct char_data *get_char_vis(struct char_data * ch, char *name)
{
struct char_data *i;
struct descriptor_data *d;
int j = 0, number;
char tmpname[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];
char *tmp = tmpname;
/* check the room first */
if ((i = get_char_room_vis(ch, name)) != NULL)
return i;
strcpy(tmp, name);
if (!(number = get_number(&tmp)))
return get_player_vis(ch, tmp, 0);
/* check players first */
for (d = descriptor_list; d && (j <= number); d = d->next)
if (d->character && isname(tmp, d->character->player.name)
&& CAN_SEE(ch, d->character))
if (++j == number)
return d->character;
/* no player found, so check mobs */
for (i = character_list; i && (j <= number); i = i->next)
if (IS_NPC(i) && isname(tmp, i->player.name) && CAN_SEE(ch, i))
if (++j == number)
return i;
return NULL;
}
