I am looking to set up an "introduction" system on my mud. At present, I am using short description of a mob/pc when people look in a room. So a room might have creatures in it displayed like so (first two are pcs, third is a mob): a short, graying old halfling man is standing here a massive young orc woman is sitting here a black-skinned moorcat is sleeping here However, I'd like to have a command which will allow players to "introduce" themselves (Which will display name and title) and then allow others to remember them for the future, so they might instead see something like: Theruld Dombleduck the Priest of Aklashiea is standing here Akkaris is sitting here a black-skinned moorcat is sleeping here How would I best set up a system like this? The code needs a way to recognize the fact that someone has "introduced" themselves, but such things would need to clear when a person logs out. It would also need to know who the character has "remembered" so that those individuals would be immediately recognized each time the person logs in, without reintroduction. I'd imagine that capping the numbers which can be remembered would be a good thing. Say 20 people at the beginning and 2 or 3 more each level afterwards would be sufficient, and prevent the use of too much storage space. Anyone have any ideas? -Mathew -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
