Subject:          RCL 7: Object Spec Example

I've had a request for an obj spec example.  Well here it
is.

This is a spec on some body armor.  During combat, it
might spec and give you some damage.  Such a spec would
be used to offset a piece of gear with high stats.

#define ARMOR  999

int armor(OBJ *armor, CHAR *ch, int cmd, char *arg) {
  CHAR *vict;
  char buf[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];

  if(!armor->equipped_by) return FALSE; /* Make sure the gear is
equipped */
  vict=armor->equipped_by;              /* Define the victim as the
wearer */

  /* We'll also throw in some damage if the player tries to remove the
armor */
  if (cmd==CMD_REMOVE && !number(0,2) ) { /* 33% chance the remove will
hurt */
    if(!ch) return FALSE;
    if(ch!=vict) return FALSE;
    one_argument(arg, buf);
    if(!*buf) return FALSE; /* Player only typed remove */

    if(!isname(buf,OBJ_NAME(armor))) return FALSE; /* Make sure its the
armor being removed */

    act("Your chest is squeezed as the armor contracts around you!",1,
ch, 0, 0, TO_CHAR);
    act("$n finds it hard to breath as $s armor contracts around $m!",1,
ch, 0, 0, TO_ROOM);
    damage(ch, ch, 100, TYPE_UNDEFINED); /* Ouch */
    return TRUE;
  }

  /* Here's the damage during combat */
  if (!vict->specials.fighting) return FALSE; /* Make sure player is
fighting */
  if (cmd != MSG_MOBACT) return FALSE;        /* Check spec every MOBACT
*/

  if(!number(0,99)) return FALSE;              /* 1% chance of spec */

  /* All checks done, do the damage */
  act("Your chest is squeezed as the armor contracts around you!",1,
vict, 0, 0, TO_CHAR);
  act("$n finds it hard to breath as $s armor contracts around $m!",1,
vict, 0, 0, TO_ROOM);
  damage(vict, vict, 100, TYPE_UNDEFINED);

  return FALSE;
}
