This was a simple fix, and really didn't add all that much to the effect, other than stopping people from being quaffing machines. Also, removing the unlimited potion venders, and replacing it with shops that only make so many potions a reset balanced this too, but of course, there are always those who will idle there, and buy them all, and then repeat the process. I haven't gotten around to fixing this problem yet, so I haven't given it too much thought until it appeared on this list. I would be one of those silly coders, in trying to do your example, would give players a counter that saved how many potions they had quaffed, lower it by one every tick, and then use a function based on the counter number to gain the desired nasty effects. Just a quick note as I was playing in a realm the other day. I came across a couple of items and laughed for awhile. One of them was a potion of cure blind, which, if you are blind, you can't see your inventory, and can't quaff the potions. I think I might made the ability to quaff it if you were already holding it, but then, who is about to walk around with a cure blind potion in their off hand? The other, was a staff or a wand of summon. The staff, doesn't need a target, but the spell does, and the wand, anything targeted with it, will just disappear and reappear back into the same room. Maybe this could be changed to summon something random from another place, maybe with one of the same alias names as the creature it was pointed at. If anything is wrong with this email, let me know. I just upgraded my computer, and am not using a different OS. Things seem to be acting differently, and I'm not sure the effects on the receivers end. -- «¥» Lord Kyu «¥» -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
