Dave I chose dying because dropping normally causes the PLR_CRASH flag to be set on you, which means that the character could be saved before you start the relogin. However, since you brought it up, I figured I should re-evaluate that: as it happens the PLR_CRASH flag is only set from within obj_from_char() and obj_to_char(), and not from dropping coins. While the WAIT_STATE that gets set when you drop coins could make it more difficult to time, there's still plenty of time. So, good catch, I think this will work consistently. Anyway, the aforementioned fix should cover both. It might be worth also setting PLR_CRASH when people drop coins. -dak -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
