First off, I'd suggest using their idnum instead of name. Comparing
strings is slower than comparing integers.
Secondly, the 'for' loop would be:
struct obj_data *obj;
for (obj = world[<room rnum>].contents; obj; obj = obj->next_content)
if (GET_OBJ_TYPE(obj) == ITEM_CONTAINER && GET_OBJ_VAL(obj, 3))
if (obj->corpse_idnum == GET_IDNUM(ch))
break;
It's not plugin code, of course.
