'ello,
its much more fun with trickery and madness aforethought...
=====>begin file snippet<=====
#define IN_DYNAMICS_C
#include "include.h"
#undef IN_DYNAMICS_C
struct gsn_type
{
char *name;
sh_int *pgsn;
};
struct spell_type
{
char *name;
SPELL_FUN *fun;

};
#undef GSN
#undef SPELL
=====>End file snippet<=====
much more fun way of making said table :)
course it does require that you actually _have_
GSN's and SPELL's for _everything_ which can be done quite
handily with a little perl script that I found on Erwin's site
-evil grin-
> course if your trying to make these dynamic that doesnt really work
either;)
True, but the following might make it easier...
the below is _very_ conditional on using the above correctly :)
anything that you pass _must_ have a valid entry in the table
or it will get assigned a null by default..
===========Code Follows===============
// used to assign GSN's to skills being read in from a file
sh_int *gsn_assign( char *gsn_name, sh_int value )
{
int i = 0;
for ( i = 0; gsn_table[i].name; i++ )
{
if ( !str_infix(gsn_table[i].name, gsn_name) )
{
*gsn_table[i].pgsn = value;
return gsn_table[i].pgsn;
}
}
return gsn_table[0].pgsn;
}
// Used to take a GSN and give a name for said to be saved to a file
char *gsn_name( sh_int *pgsn )
{
int i = 0;
for ( i = 0; gsn_table[i].name != NULL; i++ )
if ( gsn_table[i].pgsn == pgsn )
return gsn_table[i].name;
return gsn_table[0].name;
}
// Returns a pointer to be used in creating a skill table
// args: spell_name
SPELL_FUN *spell_function( char *argument )
{
int i;
for ( i = 0; spell_table[i].name; i++ )
{
if ( !str_infix(spell_table[i].name, argument) )
return spell_table[i].fun;
}
return spell_table[0].fun;
}
// Returns a name for a passed spell pointer, used to save skills to file
char *spell_fun_name( SPELL_FUN *argument )
{
int i;
for ( i = 0; spell_table[i].name; i++ )
{
if ( spell_table[i].fun == argument)
return spell_table[i].name;
}
return "spell_null";
}

have fun,
