Hi all,
I just like to add some remarks to the recent postings on boat type items.
In the case of a boat (item to cross WATER_NOSWIM) it makes sense, IMHO,
to wear it (e.g. some kind of waterwalking boots) or to just have it in
the eq list (a raft or something).
In addition, I have added the following:
- An item type TRANSPORT with the values [0] = can travel SPACE (which is
a new sector type I implemented, [1] = can travel AIR, [2] = can travel
UNDERWATER.
- So you can add code like this in do_simple_move:
/* is room underwater ? */
if ((world[ch->in_room].sector_type == SECT_UNDERWATER) ||
(world[EXIT(ch, dir)->to_room].sector_type == SECT_UNDERWATER))
{
for (equip_pos = 0; equip_pos < NUM_WEARS; equip_pos++)
if ((ch->equipment[equip_pos]) && (GET_OBJ_TYPE(ch->equipment[equip_pos]) == ITEM_TRANSPORT) && GET_OBJ_VAL(ch->equipment[equip_pos], 2))
has_boat = TRUE;
if (!has_boat)
{
send_to_char("You need to wear a suitable transport to travel underwater!\r\n", ch);
return 0;
}
}
And accordingly for AIR and SPACE. So you have to have the possibility to
wear decent eq (e.g. a breath mask for UNDERWATER, a spacesuit for SPACE
or a balloon for AIR) to travel certain sectors (only WATER_NOSWIM was
implemented so far - bpl7).
In addition, the AFF_WATERWALK doesn't work in 3.0bpl7; you may fix it like:
/* aff waterwalk ? */
if (!has_boat) {
if (IS_AFFECTED(ch, AFF_WATERWALK))
has_boat = TRUE;
}
In the boat section, of course. This fix works for characters casting
waterwalk on themselves(*) but mobs with AFF_WATERWALK wont move around
on water when the flag is set on them - does anybody has an idea why ?
It also seems to be a good idea in my opinion to do a check for flying
eq to enable you to cross water :).
(*) if you have fixed that spell, that is.
Cheerio, Stefan.
(waiting to GREP the pl8)
