I worked on a similiar act that attempted to emulate printf as much as
possible. I figured the 'escaped characters' in the string would call the
objects needed.
So essentially you can condense act to the following:
void act (struct char_data *ch, int hide_invis, int type char *fmt, ...);
Instead of $n, $N, $m, $M, $s, $S, there was just $n, $m, $s. You would
just pass the (struct char_data) to the appropriate one.
I thought myself clever until I realized that in a really complex act, you
would be passing reference to the same structure, 3 and maybe 4 times.
Proof of concept:
if you find $n:
CHECK_NULL (vict_obj, PERS (vararg (va, (struct char_data *))));
if you find $o:
CHECK_NULL (vict_obj, OBJN (vararg (va, (struct obj_data *)), ch));
