Hi list :)
I wanted to implement a dispel spell, which would remove a spell (or
several) on someone. The trick is that I wanted to have different chances
to work depending on level of caster and level of the guy who casted the
spell you want to cancel.
But, I wasn't able to get where the level of COSTC (caster of spell to
cancel :) ) is located. I even believed it is not stored (as it might not
have appeared to be necessary). So I wandered around code, and found the
following struct in structs.h :
/* An affect structure. Used in char_file_u *DO*NOT*CHANGE* */
struct affected_type {
sh_int type; /* The type of spell that caused this */
sh_int duration; /* For how long its effects will last */
sbyte modifier; /* This is added to apropriate ability */
byte location; /* Tells which ability to change(APPLY_XXX)*/
long bitvector; /* Tells which bits to set (AFF_XXX) */
struct affected_type *next;
};
which seems to be the struct to modify to add a int level variable in it.
But it's written *DO*NOT*CHANGE* ...
So, I think there might be another way to code a level of COSTC ? Or is it
already in, but I missed it ? Or is it safe to modify this struct ? If so,
what modifications should I do to rest of code to handle the modification
?
Sorry if it's a damned easy question or it has been answered many many
times ...
Thanks in advance,
F.
