Well, this got me to thinking... For storing it, you could just stick it
in the pfile as a vnum, and have thecommands for the vehicle check for
the mob vnum, to determine its abilities.. But what I was thinking was
that you could add another POS_ thing. Something like a POS_VEHICLE,
maybe before POS_FIGHTING, or possibly even the same as POS_FIGHTING.
Benefits for this? You could have a command called 'board' and it took
the argument of a mob.. And if the mob didn't have a certain flag, it
couldn't be boarded, but otherwise, let 'em on, remove the mob, store the
number in a spot in the pfile, and have the checks run from that number,
possibly setting a IN_VEHICLE bit on the char... Then a disembark
command, reload the mob, clear the number in their pfile and the flag.
But what would you do if someone tried to kill the mob? Should there be a
check to see if it has the boardable flag, and if so, say 'Ha! Attacking
an unmanned vehicle!' This system probably has a coupla wider holes in
it, but its the only alternative I and my limited brainpower could think
of(My mind is sludge, exams next week :))
