Ok Heres what i'm trying to do. I want to make it so that magic users
spells have a chance of doing a second and third hit. This is because I
have uped the number of attacks done by other class skills such at circle to
go off of second/third/fourth attack etc... I actually think I know how to
write the skill (pretty much copy all the instances of second attack leaving
out most of the parts in fight.c) however i will need to write 2 new
functions to process this. The best way to ask for help i think was to
snippet up what i have done so far. and ask if anyone could help me where I
am falling short.
A problem that I forsee is the fact that spells don't have gsn's so am stuck
having to make a gsn for every spell i have or is there a better way to do
this. Again thanks in advance for your help

--end pertinant information (if you need more just ask)--
--tables.c-- (give this to mobs)
in (const struct flag_type off_flags[] =) add
{ "second_cast", Z, TRUE },
{ "third_cast", aa, TRUE },
--merc.h-- (OFF defines)
under declerations in fight.c section add prototypes for new functions

under /* OFF bits for mobiles */ add

in other gsn's add
extern sh_int gsn_second_cast;
extern sh_int gsn_third_cast;
--handler.c--
Not sure this is needed however I wanted all mobs to be able to do all
skills
so I changed the skill returns in get_skill for mobs to this
else /* mobiles */
{
if(ch->level < 1)
skill = 80;
else
skill = number_range(80 + (ch->level/20), 90 + (ch->level/20)); }
}
else
skill = 0;
}
--const.c--
Add entry for the skills in the skill_table
only giving it to mage for testing

Add on gsn's here
sh_int gsn_second_cast;
sh_int gsn_third_cast;
--fight.c--
Now's the hard part. here I am lost hehe however here is what I have so far
multi_cast i think is ok it's the single cast that needs alot/alittle work

/* no attacks for stunnies -- just a check */
if (ch->position < POS_RESTING)
return;
/* comented this out because I don't know if i need a mob_cast
function
* if needed code it and this is how i should call it
* reason for this is because of change in handler.c to get_skill
for mobs
if (IS_NPC(ch))
{
mob_cast(ch,victim,dt);
return;
} */
