You can use two AFF_ flags at once, with some side effects.

    af.type = SPELL_POISON;
    af.duration = amount * 3;
    af.modifier = 0;
    af.location = APPLY_NONE;
    af.bitvector = AFF_POISON | AFF_SICKY;
    affect_join(ch, &af, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE);

Of course, you cannot get rid of one flag without the other going too...

This was on the mailing list a short while ago, try the queensu mailing
