Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it's just the way to are gathering
the argument and how you're parsing it in the function once you receive
it. (I think that's what you're asking)
Here's the way do_cast handles it:
<snippet>
void do_cast( CHAR_DATA *ch, char *argument )
{
char arg1[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];
char arg2[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];
CHAR_DATA *victim;
OBJ_DATA *obj;
void *vo;
int mana, loc;
int sn;
int target;
bool restricted;
/*
* Switched NPC's can cast spells, but others can't.
*/
if ( IS_NPC(ch) && ch->desc == NULL)
return;
/*
Look here!!! What it's doing is grabbing the argument
and using the parser, "one_argument()", to "choose" the spell.
*/
target_name = one_argument( argument, arg1 );
one_argument( target_name, arg2 );
if ( arg1[0] == '\0' )
{
send_to_char( "Cast which what where?\n\r", ch );
return;
}
<snip>
Now, as I recall murder will do the same thing. One thing you can check
is to make sure that "igg" is the unique name for the PC/NPC you're
trying to murder.
Although, I could just not be understanding your question -- it *is*
