I'm attempting to add a chance for a critical craft (another vnum is assigned in case they succeed in a big way) so they can have a chance at an upgraded version. This upgraded version would be another vnum entirely. I have modified the code quite a bit but I am having trouble deciding how to write the next piece.
Code:
skill = GET_SKILL(ch, CRAFT_SKILL(craft)) - (CRAFT_SKILL_LEVEL(craft) / 2);
rand = rand_number(1, 100);
crit = rand_number(90, 100);
if (skill > rand) {
if ((obj = read_object(CRAFT_OBJVNUM(craft), VIRTUAL)) == NULL) {
send_to_char(ch, "You seem to have an issue with your crafting.\r\n");
mudlog(CMP, LVL_GOD, TRUE, "SYSERR: Event Craft called without created object.");
return (0);
}
remove_components(ch, craft, TRUE);
obj_to_char(obj, ch);
if (!CRAFT_MSG_SELF(craft))
send_to_char(ch, "You have created %s.\r\n", obj->short_description);
else
act(CRAFT_MSG_SELF(craft), TRUE, ch, obj, 0, TO_CHAR);
if (CRAFT_MSG_ROOM(craft))
act(CRAFT_MSG_ROOM(craft), TRUE, ch, obj, 0, TO_NOTVICT);
} else if (skill > (rand / 2)) {
act("You struggle in your attempt to craft, but you continue on.", TRUE, ch, 0, 0, TO_CHAR);
act("$n struggles in $s attempt to craft.", TRUE, ch, 0, 0, TO_NOTVICT);
return (CRAFT_TIMER(craft) * PASSES_PER_SEC);
} else {
remove_components(ch, craft, FALSE);
act(CRAFT_FAIL_MSG_SELF(craft), TRUE, ch, 0, 0, TO_CHAR);
act(CRAFT_FAIL_MSG_ROOM(craft), TRUE, ch, 0, 0, TO_NOTVICT);
I need to tell it - If crit > rand and only if rand > skill in the first place, then show craft_crit_msg_room etc and load the crit item instead of the normal one.
The problem I'm having is the way I was thinking of writing it, it would still cause a problem if you didn't set a crit item for that craft. So I don't want the mud freaking out if it crit is > random, and there is no object set for crit. If it crits, but there is no crit obj defined, then it should just go on to the normal item as usual.
