Subject: Poofin/Poofout

After looking at a significant thread on poofin and poofout, and also
because I am a silly coder who doesn't yet understand double pointers, I
rewrote the poofin/poofout commands as two separate commands, instead of
one that, when no argument is entered, will display your current poofin or
poofout.

Here is the code for them, if anyone cares:


In act.wizard.c, search for: ACMD(do_poofset) and delete that function.

Where that was, add these:

ACMD(do_poofin)
{
  skip_spaces(&argument);

  if (!*argument)
  {
    sprintf(buf, "Current Poofin: %s %s\r\n", GET_NAME(ch), POOFIN(ch));
    send_to_char(buf, ch);
    return;
  }

  if (POOFIN(ch))
    free(POOFIN(ch));

  POOFIN(ch) = str_dup(argument);
  sprintf(buf, "Poofin set to: %s %s\r\n", GET_NAME(ch), POOFIN(ch));
  send_to_char(buf, ch);
}


ACMD(do_poofout)
{
  skip_spaces(&argument);

  if (!*argument)
  {
    sprintf(buf, "Current Poofout: %s %s\r\n", GET_NAME(ch), POOFOUT(ch));
    send_to_char(buf, ch);
    return;
  }

  if (POOFOUT(ch))
    free(POOFOUT(ch));

  POOFOUT(ch) = str_dup(argument);
  sprintf(buf, "Poofout set to: %s %s\r\n", GET_NAME(ch), POOFOUT(ch));
  send_to_char(buf, ch);
}

Then in interpreter.c, remove the ACMD(do_poofset) prototype and
add instead:


ACMD(do_poofin);

ACMD(do_poofout);

In the Master Command List, where the poofin/poofout commands are
defined, change them to:

{ "poofin", POS_DEAD, do_poofin, LVL_IMMORT, 0},
{ "poofout", POS_DEAD, do_poofout, LVL_IMMORT, 0},

That should be everything. Of course, I can't remember if POOFIN(ch) is
part of stock circle or not (I'm sure it is). If not, you will have to
define them for yourself.

Later,

Rasdan
