Problem strain / tick - Gammon Forum

DjNiVeK Fri 09 Apr 2004 04:12 PM #0

Alright, what I want to do is to put strain on the muscles after using a skill, what will reduce your hp/mana (chakra)/stamina per tick when you still have strain. I put this in update.c (at least, I think it should be there :P) and well, it doesn't work, lol. It doesn't remove the hp/mana/stamina per tick or send the message.


int strain( CHAR_DATA *ch )
{
int gain;
    if ( ch->gates == 0 )
    {
        if ( ch->strain == 1 )
	{
	act( AT_FIRE, "The pain slowly goes away with one last pinch!", ch, NULL, NULL, TO_CHAR);
	act( AT_FIRE, "$n seems to be recovered", ch, NULL, NULL, TO_ROOM);
	ch->strain = ch->strain - 1;
        if( ch->move < 11 )
	   {
		gain = 5;
	   }
	   if( ch->move > 10 )
	   {
		ch->move -= 10;
	   }
	   if( ch->mana < 6 )
	   {
		gain += 5;
	   }
	   if( ch->mana > 5 )

           ch->hit -= 10 + gain;
           return rNONE;

If you need to know anything else, tell me :P

OK, you put it in update.c. Did you call it anywhere or just put that function there?

DjNiVeK Sat 10 Apr 2004 12:23 AM #2

Only on top of update.c. I did that because that's where the mana_gain, move_gain, etc are located aswell.

Nick Gammon Australia Forum Administrator Sat 10 Apr 2004 12:59 AM #3

I see. Well, functions don't just call themselves you know, you need to put in the code to call it somewhere.

In the case of the functions you mentioned (mana_gain, move_gain, etc) they are all called from char_update, so that would be a logical place to call your new routine.


if ( ch->position >= POS_STUNNED )
{
    if ( ch->hit  < ch->max_hit )
        ch->hit  += hit_gain(ch);

    if ( ch->mana < ch->max_mana )
        ch->mana += mana_gain(ch);

    if ( ch->move < ch->max_move )
        ch->move += move_gain(ch);

// here, perhaps

}
