Ewwww! *gag*
Wouldn't it be better to just do:
void look_in_direction(struct char_data *ch, room_rnum room, int dir)
{
/* Perhaps you want to sanity check the arguments too? */
struct room_direction_data *rdata = world[room].dir_option[dir];
if (rdata) {
if (rdata->general_description)
send_to_char(rdata->general_description, ch);
else
send_to_char("You see nothing special.\r\n", ch);
if (EXIT_FLAGGED(rdata, EX_CLOSED) && rdata->keyword) {
sprintf(buf, "The %s is closed.\r\n", fname(rdata->keyword));
send_to_char(buf, ch);
} else if (EXIT_FLAGGED(rdata, EX_ISDOOR) && rdata->keyword) {
sprintf(buf, "The %s is open.\r\n", fname(rdata->keyword));
send_to_char(buf, ch);
}
} else
send_to_char("Nothing special there...\r\n", ch);
}
(The astute will notice I basically just replaced "EXIT(ch, dir)" with
"rdata".)
