I had tinkered with mag_materials at one point and came up
with the following solution:
Create a new function which will check for the
material components, which is just one big switch statement
of all spells that need material components, with each case
being the relevent call to mag_materials().
Then, in do_cast(), right before it calls the function
that actually executes the spell (call_magic()? I forget
the name, but the call to it is right at the end of
do_cast()), call this new function. If it succeeds, the
spell is cast, otherwise nada.
something like:
int has_components(int spellnum, struct char_data *ch) {
int x;
struct obj_data obj1, obj2, obj3; /* You will need to
set these - I don't remember exactly how I did
it off the top of my head ;) */
switch(spellnum) {
case SPELL_ARMOR:
x = mag_materials(ch, 1, 2, 3, TRUE);
break;
etc.
default:
/* Spell needs no components - return success */
x = 1;
break;
}
return x;
}
Then in do_cast you would add at the end,
if (has_components(spellnum, ch) {
cast_spell(); /* Or whatever the func name is */
} else {
/* Some sort of message */
}

each page one can read the names and ranks of those who took off on
