| I'm looking to make certain exits have descriptions you get when you travel through them.
like:
>east
You tromp through the bushes and wind up in a stream.
then show the room desc and stuff
i'll try my hand and begin fiddlin' with stuff, but in the meanwhile any suggestions will be most helpful.
rock on

| This might already be implemented with exit descs, but that might also be a feature added to my codebase before I took over.
Anyhow, the idea is pretty straightforward; just add an extra field to your exit_data structure called "exit_desc" or something similar, and whenever somebody takes an exit, if the exit's exit_desc is not null, print it to them. |

| added a movedesc to exit_data structure,
stuck it in after keyords of the exit in the area files,
and in act_mov.c, in ch_ret move_char
after
char_from_room( ch );
if (pexit->movedesc && pexit->movedesc[0] != '\0')
send_to_char(pexit->movedesc,ch);
before
char_to_room( ch, to_room );
working ok so far. | | Top |
