I looked into the possibility of doing this, but decided against it for a
few reasons. I can see it getting weird depending on whether or not your
mud is pkill or not, groups vs. non-groups, etc. Also I didn't see the
need to recreate a lot of code that you can do with any mud client out
there.
However, if you wanted to you could make a flag called PRF_AUTOASSIST.
Then in your do_kill function you loop through the folowers of the
attacker who is likely the group leader. Mind you this is pseudo-code,
but you get the idea:
in do_kill:
if in group and is master of that group {
loop through the followers
if follower has auto-assist flag on
hit the guy the master is fighting
}
If you want, I can probably write the code, it's not that hard, but I
didn't feel like leaving my mailer :-)
Hope that helps you,
