Okay, what I did on my mud is simply use one of the used the key value if
it was a corpse, to store the player id whos corpse it belongs to. Then
when the player goes to either pick up, or get items from that corpse, it
checks to see if the idnum of the character matches the number stored in
that value. This also made it possible for me to implement a sort of
assigning. Players can now assign people to get their corpse. It also
prevents others from taking their corpse, because of the idnum of the
player does not match the value and they aren't assigned by the player who
the corpse belongs to, they can't touch it.
