Heya,
I was constructing a portalling system tonight, and I struck a small
hiccup with the following. The system works via a spec_proc in that I
"enter portal" and I get teleported to the room specified by whatever I
portalled to using "cast 'portal' <whereever or whoever>".
I customised it a bit more, and made it so I could have pre-set numbers
via OLC. I store this value in the second valx spot (Val1).
I'm having trouble "going to" the room specified in Val1. What I'm after
I guess is how to teleport according to the exact value specified in the
.obj file. At the moment, if I set it to "3", it takes me to Room #99, or
the vnum of 3 in the wld setup (other rooms before this are Room #0, #1,
and #3). Setting "2" takes me to Room #3, setting "1" takes to Room #1,
etc...
The code is as follows:
char_to_room(ch, (room_rnum) portal->obj_flags.value[1]);
How can this be changed so that setting the .obj file to "3" will mean
going to Room #3? And likewise, how can a check be made such that if the
room indeed does not exist, then report whatever sprintf? i.e. does a
function exist already that does this?
Thanks in advance,
-Caniffe
