Hi list... In my everpresent quest to get skills upgraded and stuff like that, I was looking at the hide skill. Fair enough. But then I noticed that basically, if so-and-so hides, what actually happens is that a (hidden) is place at the end of their long_desc when one looks at the room. I checked out bpl14, and it seems to be present there as well. This eventuates even without sense_life being cast on the player. What is the process for making sure that if a PC (or NPC) is hidden, that in "look" (and its alternate subroutines) the player (PC/NPC) *cannot* be seen when someone looks at the room? Was also thinking, is it possbile to say, make a piece of equipment *hidden*? That is, instead of the old trick of making a blank long_desc, is it *easily* possible to make a piece of equipment load somewhere, but not have the players see it without sense_life? Any ideas/comment appreciated. -J. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Julian Buckley, 2nd Year Computer Systems Engineering Dept.
