So! Here's what I've been working on, which is a pretty clear yank and translation of DarkSun's emote targeting with objects and players. I have objects carried or worn handled with the * token, you can inject yourself into an emote with @, and you can target other players with /theirname.
Where I'm running into some weirdness is with player targeting -- the /theirname thing. It displays it properly to me:
The remaining tokens work fine - both the sender and other folks in the room see them and the targeted objects/person.
Code:
void personalize_emote (char_data *src, char *emote)
{
char desc [MAX_STRING_LENGTH] = { '\0' };
char copy [MAX_STRING_LENGTH] = { '\0' };
char *charshortbuf = NULL;
char_data *tch = NULL;
room_data *room;
snprintf (copy, MAX_STRING_LENGTH, "%s", emote);
while ( *emote ) {
*desc = '\0';
if ( *emote == '#' ) {
emote++;
if ( *emote == '5' ) {
emote++;
while ( *emote != '#' ) {
snprintf (desc + strlen(desc), MAX_STRING_LENGTH, "%c", *emote);
emote++;
}
tch = get_char_room_vis (src, desc, NULL);
/** Find the first person who matches the description **/
for ( tch = room->people; tch; tch = tch->next_in_room ) {
charshortbuf = (GET_INTRO(tch));
if ( !str_cmp (charshortbuf, desc) )
break;
if ( !tch )
continue;
}
} /* end emote == '5'*/
}/* end emote == '#'*/
emote++;
}
for ( tch = room->people; tch; tch = tch->next_in_room ) {
if ( tch == src )
continue;
act (copy, TRUE, tch, 0, 0, TO_CHAR);
