Hi

i made a command called leech, well. the name should say it all..
here's the command, i know that i have made lots of errors here.. but i need
help in finding and correcting them..

ACMD(do_leech)
{
        struct char_data *victim;
   char buf[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];

   one_argument(argument, buf);
  if (!*buf)
    send_to_char(ch, "Whom do you wish to leech?\r\n");

  else if (!(victim = get_char_vis(ch, argument, NULL, FIND_CHAR_WORLD)))
        send_to_char(ch, NOPERSON);

  else {
  if (ch == victim){
                send_to_char(ch, "Well, that wasn't so smart, was it?");
      return;
      }
  GET_HIT(victim) = 1;
  GET_MANA(victim) = 1;
  GET_MOVE(victim) = 1;

  act("You leech $n's soul. You feel fully refreshened by it.", FALSE, ch,
0, victim, TO_CHAR);
  act("You feel your soul being leeched while $n draws power from it!",
FALSE, ch, 0, victim, TO_VICT);
  }
}

and a second question.. what is the structure of act()?
i only know how to use the first and last field..
i copied the act()'s in my command from other commands.. i have no real
knowledge of them..

act(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6);

1 = i know.. the message.
2 = don't have a clue, true/false?   <---- help
3 = i'm lost    <---- help
4 = what?       <---- help
5 = hmm..       <---- help
6 = oooohhhhh, i know, to whom it sends the message.. eh?

can you fill out the missing parts?
