I hate to reply to my own posts, but I think I found the bug.
The function look_at_target strips any leading "number." stuff from the
passed argument pointer, so that it can't be used later.
I've done some experiments, and the "argument" variable (compare with the
"arg" variable in the function) keeps the "number." stuff.
So what I did was change this:
look_at_target(ch, arg);
generic_find(arg, FIND_OBJ_INV | FIND_OBJ_ROOM | FIND_CHAR_ROOM |
FIND_OBJ_EQUIP, ch, &tmp_char, &tmp_object);
if (tmp_object) {
if ((GET_OBJ_TYPE(tmp_object) == ITEM_DRINKCON) ||
(GET_OBJ_TYPE(tmp_object) == ITEM_FOUNTAIN) ||
(GET_OBJ_TYPE(tmp_object) == ITEM_CONTAINER)) {
send_to_char("When you look inside, you see:\r\n", ch);
look_in_obj(ch, arg);
}
to this:
look_at_target(ch, arg);
generic_find(argument, FIND_OBJ_INV | FIND_OBJ_ROOM | FIND_CHAR_ROOM |
FIND_OBJ_EQUIP, ch, &tmp_char, &tmp_object);
if (tmp_object) {
if ((GET_OBJ_TYPE(tmp_object) == ITEM_DRINKCON) ||
(GET_OBJ_TYPE(tmp_object) == ITEM_FOUNTAIN) ||
(GET_OBJ_TYPE(tmp_object) == ITEM_CONTAINER)) {
send_to_char("When you look inside, you see:\r\n", ch);
look_in_obj(ch, argument);
}
It seems to work OK. If anyone more familiar with the code than me can
think of a reason why I shouldn't do this, please LMK!
I hope this helps!
Thanks!
Adam
