Pointers by reference: Thank you, Michael. That's exactly it. As for the automation question.. the only way to break automation is to break continuity. That is, make gold not load in the same spot, items, etc. However, this is definitely not a fix. A MUD I once played on made heavy use of immortal supervision; players who were logged on for abnormal amounts of time were observed and queried to see if a live person ever responded. If not, the character was either 'jailed' or dismissed from the game.
You may wish to pose this question to the Mud-Dev mailing list. You can find the list at http://www.kanga.nu/. They do have a copy of their archives which are browsable, but I haven't found a method to search the archives. -- Jeremy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Barton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ROM" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 11:30 PM Subject: client scripts > Does anyone else have a problem with players who over automate everything with > scripts? > Like, say, scripts that collect gold or items for them overnight while they sleep? > > I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a way to break them. > > --Palrich. > > > -- > ROM mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.rom.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rom
