I have uploaded a snippet (memorization.tgz) to ftp://ftp.circlemud.org/pub/CircleMUD/incoming/ It is intended as an example and may not be complete, but it implements memorization and innate skills/spells. It works on our mud, but I may have forgotten to put everything in the snippet, etc. Memorization: Spells that are memorized are added to a linked list with a timer. When the spell has finished being memorized, the spell is removed from the linked list to an array of spells that are ready to cast. This system allows for multiple spell levels, and the level of a spell is set in the spello declaration in spell_parser.c This system supports added spell slots via equipment using object affections (similar to +con, -maxhit, etc). Innate spells/skills/affects: This system allows a character to use a spell or skill every X hours. When an innate ability is used, it is added to a linked list with a timer. When the timer expires, the spell may be cast or used again. -Robert strife.betterbox.net 4100 -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | 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/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
