I am trying to code a knock spell that works like this:
PC types: cast 'knock' <direction> or
cast 'knock' <door alias> (or have both work)
The spell will then do all the mumno jumbo to check that
direction and all that stuff.
I cannot figure out how to get this argument from the player. I
look at spells like summon and locate object that take pointers
to structs, but I just want to a take a raw argument that I can
strcmp for one of 6 directions and proceed from there.
Am I looking at this the right way and has anyone done anything
similiar? I was toying with the idea of adding a new spell type,
MAG_MISC_ROOM, but I thought I'd see if there was an easier way.
Thanks a bunch,
WC
