Just an idea on the empty slots for the ITEM_COMPONENT
(keep in mind i am a newbie coder, so i am not sure HOW possible this is)
instead of just the component number, have them list diff attribs of that
component
i.e.
1: regen(1)
2: fire_resis(1) (the (1) is the level or str of the component)
3: heal(1)
etc...
then instead of looking for a component # it would check for the
attrib and str, that way you can use diff combos for the same potion
and maybe have the affect be as stronger if the (#) is higher,
seems to me if this is codeable that you would then be able to limit
higher level potions by making the really good componets scarce,
but have lower powered versions floating around as teasers...
just my .02$

Take a look in magic.c (or is it spells.c where the non-manual spells
are...I always get them mixed up) There is a funtion (but it's never
called from pstock circle) that can search for up to 3 items in a players
inventoory for use in a spell, and the items will be consumed in the
spell. That should help yoou out. Perhaps you can even call it from the
do_brew.
i.e. case POTION_HEALING:
if mag_materials(ch, ITEM_RED_POWDER, ITEM_SPIDER_LEG,
ITEM_PLANT_LEAVES, TRUE, TRUE)
do_brew(SPELL_HEAL);
Here's the syntax.....int mag_materials(ch, item1vnum, item2vnun,
item3vnum, extractbool, verbosebool)
The first 4 are obvious....if extractbool is true (it and verbose bool
are ints) then it will remove the items, if verbosebool is true, it will
tell the player it extracted the irtems.
>There would also be the chance of an explosion as in the do_brew.
Just do the check before you call the do_brew, or in the do_brew, and you
can get it done.
