I am trying to remove the need of the Holy Magic Symbols from my circle mud. But how can i make so that regardless if the spell has 1, 2, 3 or more words it should know where to end and find the "target"
Many thanks ierodules /GoaX Mud |

Though I've not done this myself, What you need to do is something along these lines.
Current setup: do_cast uses strtok to find the abbreviated spell name between two ''s: [code] /* get; blank, spell name, target name */ s = strtok(argument, "'"); if (s == NULL) { send_to_char(ch, "Cast what where?\r\n"); return; } s = strtok(NULL, "'"); if (s == NULL) { send_to_char(ch, "Spell names must be enclosed in the Holy Magic Symbols; '\r\n"); return; } t = strtok(NULL, "\0"); /* spellnum = search_block(s, spells, 0); */ spellnum = find_skill_num(s); if ((spellnum < 1) || (spellnum > MAX_SPELLS)) { send_to_char(ch, "Cast what?!?\r\n"); return; }[/quote] Try this on for size: [code] skip_spaces(&argument); if (!*argument) { send_to_char(ch, "Cast what where?\r\n"); return; } spellnum = find_skill_num(argument); if ((spellnum < 1) || (spellnum > MAX_SPELLS)) { /* * if we didn't find it, maybe the last word is a target name * .. let's split this argument at the last space. */ t = strrchr(argument, ' '); if (!t) { send_to_char(ch, "Cast what?!?\r\n"); return; } t++ = '\0'; /* NULL-terminate argument */ spellnum = find_skill_num(argument); if ((spellnum < 1) || (spellnum > MAX_SPELLS)) { send_to_char(ch, "Cast what?!?\r\n"); return; } } [/quote] I hope this helps. |
