I'm playing with the assassinate snippet thats flowing out there on the I-net. Now I got everything in place and ran a make clean/make and it compiles. I how ever found 2 versions out there that are both kinda cool. One is just an instakill based off of backstab. The other involves 2 arguments in the command line to operate.

In Skills.c I have


char arg1[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];
char arg2[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];
CHAR_DATA *victim;
OBJ_DATA *obj;
short int percent;

and then in the code it self


if ( !str_cmp( arg2, "choke" ) )
    { act( AT_WHITE, "You wrap your meaty arms around $N's neck choking out the life.",  ch, NULL, victim, TO_CHAR );
    }

else if ( !str_cmp( arg2, "poison" ) )
    {act( AT_LBLUE, "You blow posion powder in $N's face causing them to convulse as their bodies blood vessels explode.",  ch, NULL, victim, TO_CHAR    );
    }

else if (!str_cmp( arg2, "backstab" ) )
{
/* Weapon Check for BackStab */
if ( ( obj = get_eq_char( ch, WEAR_WIELD ) ) == NULL
||   ( obj->value[3] != 11 && obj->value[3] != 2 ) )
{
send_to_char( "You need to wield a piercing or stabbing weapon.\n\r", ch );
	        return;
	}
      act( AT_RED, "Your backstab finds its mark between $N's shoulder blades.",  ch, NULL, victim, TO_CHAR );
        }

    else
send_to_char( "What kind of assassination attemp: poison, choke, backstab?\n\r", ch );
	return;
	  }

The issue is this. If type assassinate <target> or assassinate <target> choke the game asks me what kind of assassination I want to attempt.

if i type assassinate <target>, choke it tells me that they aren't here.

I know the code is kinda hacked together and its been a while since I can't see the issue. I'm the only coder on my mud project too so i don't have anyone else to look over it. Can anyone help me find out where the error/bug is?

I forgot my

argument = one_argument( argument, arg2 );
if ( arg2[0] == '\0' )

sorry to waste time
