I was wondering what would the code basicly have to look like in order to make it so if a charecter was at a certin level enacting a combonation of skills ie fireball gas fireball, would trigger an automatic command/skill such as super fireball that is triggered by it that could only be used in that combonation method?


Thanks

The amount of coding required to do something like this is pretty near ridiculous and would so outweigh the miniscule benefits to the mud that you'd be very very lucky to find a talented enough coder willing to dedicate the time to such a project. My advice for something like this is write in mob driven quests that require a variety of skills to get the "combo attack" you've thought up. Easier to implement, far less time and code intensive - few advanced skills or spells instead of a massive code rewrite - and easier to manage in game as far as which classes can gain access to the new features.

Ahhh I see, I figured there would be a easy was of going about it as long as everything remains hard coded in fight.c somewhere. As far as it's use I thought it would be awesome for pkilling but yeah guess if no one can help, I'll just put it far back on my todo list.
