Gag, why? Write a macro like:
#define ATTACKS_PER_ROUND(ch) \
((number(1, 101) <= GET_SKILL(ch, SKILL_HIT_TWO)) + \
(number(1, 101) <= GET_SKILL(ch, SKILL_HIT_THREE)) + \
(number(1, 101) <= GET_SKILL(ch, SKILL_HIT_FOUR)))
This should return a number 0-3. Now, in perform_violence() just do
a quick for loop:
int x; /* put this in perform_violence() at the top */
for (x = 0; x <= ATTACKS_PER_ROUND(ch) && FIGHTING(ch); x++)
hit(ch, FIGHTING(ch), TYPE_UNDEFINED);
Remove the call to 'hit' before that because these two lines now take
care of all hitting. Note that they do a check for FIGHTING(ch) in
the for() loop to prevent crashes if the opponent is killed on the
hit(). All you have to do to add more hits, then, is just add on to
the ATTACKS_PER_ROUND macro and add the skill in spells.h. You should
probably place ATTACKS_PER_ROUND in spells.h, actually, so you don't
have to go from file to file to add the skill (eg., you'll only have to
do spells.h, spell_parser.c, and class.c instead of four or more files).
NOTE: This code was written in my e-mail program without thought or
reference to the CircleMUD code. I just wrote what I think would work;
although, it _probably_ will work... maybe...
