Well, my version of DG Scripts support the next_in_room field, but there's
still one slight glitch in this script, I have included the script I wrote
myself, and there's some little error checkers in there, like check that
terminates if it loops beyond the last char in the room...
* MANA LOADER SCRIPT
* BY ARTOVIL, ARCANE REALMS
* arcane-realms.dyndns.org:3011
set nextplr %self.people%
while (%nextplr% != "")
* MAKE SURE THEY ARE STILL IN THE ROOM
* if %nextplr.room% = %self.vnum%
* IF SO, REWARD!
wreward %nextplr% mana 5
wsend %nextplr% Your mana increases!
wsend %nextplr% %nextplr.next_in_room%
* end
* GO TO NEXT PLAYER
if %nextplr.name% = "The Void"
halt
else
set nextplr %nextplr.next_in_room%
end
done
* end of script
It works, but... It only takes the LAST character, not the FIRST, so it
doesn't loop, it terminates right away, and you can see that it prints out a
carriage return if you run the script, and that means its reached the end of
the list, right?
So, how do I go about changing this? I mean, this is a pretty important
function, IMHO, looping through the characters in a room when random
fires... You can do so many cool things with it, so it would be nice if I
got it to work... :)
Kind Regards,
