act, act_new are designed to send to a specific player, or those in the
room.
If you want to send to all the players online you need to:
void
announce (char *string, CHAR_DATA * ch)
{
DESCRIPTOR_DATA *d;
for (d = descriptor_list; d != NULL; d = d->next)
{
CHAR_DATA *victim;
victim = d->original ? d->original : d->character;
if (d->connected == CON_PLAYING
&& d->character != ch
&& IS_SET (victim->comm, COMM_ANNOUNCE)
&& !IS_SET (victim->comm, COMM_QUIET))
{
if (!can_see(d->character, ch))
continue;
act_new (string, ch, NULL, d->character, TO_VICT, POS_DEAD);
}
}
return;
}
Or whatever. Customize to needs.
