new skill was created by JTP

Iwe made this, ideas to improve would be nice.

It kinds works, but it also stops when the vict is still attacking, i would like it to come with a message saying It would not be good to let your guard down while fighting. And then let the fight go on.

It should only be possible to stop fighting, when the vict is one of the following states:
#define POS_DEAD 0
#define POS_MORTALLYW 1 <<
#define POS_INCAP 2 <<
#define POS_STUNNED 3 <<

Code:

ACMD(do_disengage)
{
  struct char_data *vict;

  if (GET_POS(ch) < POS_FIGHTING) {
    send_to_char(ch, "You are in pretty bad shape, unable to disengage!\r\n");
    return;
  }
  if (!FIGHTING(ch)) {
    send_to_char(ch, "How can you disengage from combat, when you are not fighting anyone?\r\n");
    return;
  }

      if (FIGHTING(ch)) {
        stop_fighting(ch);
        send_to_char(ch, "You disengage from combat, letting your guard down.\r\n");
      }
}

Code:

ACMD(do_disengage)
{
  struct char_data *vict = FIGHTING(ch);
  int percent, prob = GET_SKILL(ch, SKILL_DISENGAGE);

  if (IS_NPC(ch) || !prob) {
    send_to_char(ch, "You have no idea how.\r\n");
    return;
  }

  if (GET_POS(ch) < POS_FIGHTING) {
    send_to_char(ch, "You are in pretty bad shape, unable to disengage!\r\n");
    return;
  }
  if (!vict) {
    send_to_char(ch, "How can you disengage from combat, when you are not fighting anyone?\r\n");
    return;
  }

  percent = rand_number(1, 101);	/* 101% is a complete failure */
   if (percent > prob) {  
    send_to_char(ch, "PANIC! You failed to disengage!");
  } else {
    stop_fighting(ch); 
    if (ch == FIGHTING(vict))
      stop_fighting(vict); 
  }
  WAIT_STATE(ch, PULSE_VIOLENCE * 2);
}

You'll want the other combattant to stop fighting, too.

As you see, I'd suggest adding a couple of ticks wait state, and a skill check for this, too.

What i thought was If you tried to disengage and your tagget was not INCAP or STUNNED

Then fighting would continue and you would get a message that it would not be smart....

And If the target was INCAP or STUNNED. Then you could use disengage amd stop fighting.

ok, so you'll need a position check on the vict instead of the skill check.

Code:

-  percent = rand_number(1, 101);	/* 101% is a complete failure */
-   if (percent > prob) {  
+  if (GET_POSITION(vict) => POS_FIGHTING) {
    send_to_char(ch, "You can't disengage, they're fighting back!");
  } else {
    stop_fighting(ch); 
    if (ch == FIGHTING(vict))
      stop_fighting(vict); 
  }
  WAIT_STATE(ch, PULSE_VIOLENCE * 2);
