If I remembered more Spanish from 6 years ago, I'd have written an actual sentence. :) I was always better at reading it than writing it (or especially speaking it) anyway. He originally wrote: "I'm wanting to write a piece of code that has a command to turn it on or off, once turned on another command would let players use the code, something like boosting dr/hr untill they level..." The lack of periods usually causes the "Huh?" reaction. Run-on sentences slip around so much the point of each section loses its meaning and starts to blend all together. >> How about ACMD(do_gen_tog) at the bottom of act.other.c? >> >> It handles 'slowdns' and 'trackthru' which are global. > >I was avoiding external globals and this mechanism so I could present the >code in one unified block and avoid two separate commands. But, you're >probably right, using what's there would probably be better. It's namespace pollution on the command list but there aren't enough non-globals to warrant a 'set' approach. >BTW, anyone have any idea what "boosting dr/hr untill they level" is >supposed to mean? I think if we can crack that code, it'll become clear. I'm guessing Hit-Rate and Damage-Rate. -- George Greer | If it's about the CircleMUD mailing list, greerga@circlemud.org | mail owner-circle@post.queensu.ca instead. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
