The problem with that though, is say there's a really good, healing-boosting bed in your mud. I get one, and go to sleep on it, then quit out. I go away, but the bed stays there. My buddy picks the bed up, and I log back in. Since the bed's gone, the mud spawns a new one for me to sleep on. Now I have two beds. I sell one for 80 bazillion gold, lather, rinse and repeat.
So what you really ought to do (and this is pretty complex) is when a person quits, see if they can pick up the object that they're sleeping on. If they can, put it in their inventory, and save it with the player, and somehow flag that they need to wake up on this object when they load. If they can't pick up the object, make them stand, or go to sleep on the floor or whatever, and skip the whole process. Then when they load, check to see if they need to be put asleep on an object in their inventory, take the object out of their inventory, put it in the room, and put the player to sleep on it. -David On 4/15/05, Steven Radziul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > There is another way for which you could do this which would be long and > painful but it would be doable..Save the item # of the object for which > their sleeping on within the save file before they quit... if their > sleeping... when they login, look for just where it calls the function to > put them in the room..
