Add the following in structs.h:
struct char_data *next_in_room; /* For room->people - list */
struct char_data *next; /* For either monster or ppl-list */
struct char_data *next_fighting; /* For fighting list */
struct follow_type *followers; /* List of chars followers */
struct char_data *master; /* Who is char following? */
+ struct char_data *guarding; /* Who is the character guarding? */
};
Also add a SKILL_GUARD define where it's needed and a new PRF flag for
people who don't want to be guarded called PRF_NOGUARD.
Then write up the body of a command to set the guarded character like:
ACMD(do_guard)
{
one_argument(argument, arg);
if (!GET_SKILL(ch, SKILL_GUARD))
send_to_char ("You have no idea how!\r\n", ch);
else if (!*arg)
send_to_char ("Syntax: guard <target name>\r\n");
else if (!(vict = get_char_room_vis(ch, arg)))
send_to_char ("They don't seem to be here.\r\n", ch);
else if (PRF_FLAGGED(vict, PRF_NOGUARD))
send_to_char ("They don't want to be guarded right now!\r\n", ch);
else {
sprintf (buf, "You are now guarding %s.\r\n", GET_NAME(vict));
send_to_char (buf, ch);
sprintf (buf, "%s starts to guard you.\r\n", GET_NAME(ch));
send_to_char (buf, vict);
ch->guarding = vict;
}
}
Then in damage(), add two char_data vars called *guard and *next_guard and
make a check like this:
for (guard = world[ch->in_room].people;guard;guard = next_guard) {
next_guard = guard->next_in_room;
if (guard->guarding == ch && GET_POS(guard) == POS_STANDING) {
sprintf(buf, "You jump to the aid of %s!\r\n", GET_NAME(ch));
send_to_char(buf, guard);
sprintf(buf, "%s jumps to your aid!\r\n", GET_NAME(guard));
send_to_char(buf, ch);
sprintf(buf, "%s jumps to the aid of %s!\r\n", GET_NAME(guard),
GET_NAME(ch));
send_to_char(buf, victim);
set_fighting(guard, victim);
set_fighting(victim, guard);
return;
}
}
That's the bulk of everything. I won't post all the places you have to do
things, have to leave a little for the imagination. Plus, this has a lot
of room for improvement, it's just an outline for you to use.
Lots of luck,
Chuck
