Special procedures are functions, just like anything else. For mobile special procedures, they are called every so and so (every mobile action pulse), you can look in mobact.c for that part. Spec procs also check for commands (ala the postmaster proc which checks for commands like mail and receive). Spec_procs.c is still the best place to learn about them, look at puff's procedure, notice how they made it so its hard to make puff say anything? That's because spec procs are called frequently, you wouldn't want puff talking every second as an example... So on, its just code :) -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
