1) Don't post to the list and complain about useless posts if yours is going to be as useless. F^(%!NG HYPOCRITS! 2) we really didn't need to see his huge annoying .sig again either. now here is what you should have added: OBCIRCLE: A way to have spells abort before they are done casting without special cases. (kinda) in spell_parser.c:call_magic() right before all the other mag_ checks: if (IS_SET(SINFO.routines, MAG_CHECK)) if(!mag_check(level, caster, cvict, spellnum, savetype)) return 0; in magic.c add: int mag_check(int level, struct char_data *ch, struct char_data *victim, int spellnum, int savetype) { char *to_vict = NULL; char *to_room = NULL; char *to_char = NULL; int pass = TRUE; switch (spellnum) { case SPELL_GOODBERRY: if(!OUTSIDE(ch)) { to_char = "You need to be outside to call on your powers!"; pass= FALSE; } break; case SPELL_CALL_LIGHTNING: if(weather_info.sky<SKY_RAINING) { to_char = "There is no storm to call the lightning from!"; pass = FALSE; } else if(!OUTSIDE(ch)) { to_char = "You need to be outside to call on the elements!"; pass= FALSE; } break; default: pass=TRUE; } if(pass) return pass; if(to_char!=NULL) act(to_char, FALSE, ch, 0, victim, TO_CHAR); if (to_vict != NULL) act(to_vict, FALSE, victim, 0, ch, TO_CHAR); if (to_room != NULL) act(to_room, TRUE, victim, 0, ch, TO_ROOM); return pass; } in spells.h add: #define MAG_CHECK (1 << 11) and then add MAG_CHECK and a case to the above switch statement to have the spell abort early. --Angus - now was that so hard? malking twinks. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: [LONG] Avatar and decapitate code with graveyar Author: INTERNET:CIRCLE@POST.QUEENSU.CA at CSERVE Date: 9/5/98 12:59 AM I have a bad habit of not deleting mail. So I looked thru it for some info. I will bet, hmm, what could one bet, well check for yourself my numbers are right. I may have missed some though. The person below has posted 56 curse words to the post. Blah big deal I suppose. Person below has posted 31 "flames" to this post with no obcircle. (An example is below) The same person been involved in 45 posts about stealing code. I know this means little just seems funny. Well a I said I dont delete my mail but I skim it. I just deleted 3 months worth. I yes, these numbers are in the past three months. I do not like having to wade thru these. Waaa, yeah I know just frustrating that I had to ask a friend how to filter this guys name.
