Have you ever wanted to be able to type 'open north' and it finds the door and opens it without you having to specify the keyword?
But if you are... here is the find_door() function that will let you do just that.
Also works for close, pick and anything else you might send through find_door.
Code:
static int find_door(struct char_data *ch, const char *type, char *dir, const char *cmdname)
{
int door = -1;;
if (!*type)
{
send_to_char(ch, "What is it you want to %s?\r\n", cmdname);
return (-1);
}
/* check for open/close <direction> */
if ((door = search_block((char *) type, dirs, FALSE)) != -1)
{
if (EXIT(ch, door))
return (door);
}
if ((door = search_block((char *) type, autoexits, FALSE)) != -1)
{
if (EXIT(ch, door))
return (door);
}
if (*dir)
{ /* a direction was specified */
if ((door = search_block(dir, dirs, FALSE)) == -1)
{ /* Partial Match */
if ((door = search_block(dir, autoexits, FALSE)) == -1)
{ /* Check 'short' dirs too */
send_to_char(ch, "That's not a direction.\r\n");
return (-1);
}
}
if (EXIT(ch, door))
{ /* Braces added according to indent. -gg */
if (EXIT(ch, door)->keyword) {
if (is_name(type, EXIT(ch, door)->keyword))
return (door);
else {
send_to_char(ch, "I see no %s there.\r\n", type);
return (-1);
}
} else
return (door);
} else
{
send_to_char(ch, "I really don't see how you can %s anything there.\r\n", cmdname);
return (-1);
}
}
else
{ /* try to locate the keyword */
for (door = 0; door < DIR_COUNT; door++)
{
if (EXIT(ch, door))
{
if (EXIT(ch, door)->keyword)
{
if (isname(type, EXIT(ch, door)->keyword))
{
if ((!IS_NPC(ch)) && (!PRF_FLAGGED(ch, PRF_AUTODOOR)))
return door;
else if (is_abbrev(cmdname, "open"))
{
if (IS_SET(EXIT(ch, door)->exit_info, EX_CLOSED))
return door;
else if (IS_SET(EXIT(ch, door)->exit_info, EX_LOCKED))
return door;
}
else if ((is_abbrev(cmdname, "close")) && (!(IS_SET(EXIT(ch, door)->exit_info, EX_CLOSED))) )
return door;
else if ((is_abbrev(cmdname, "lock")) && (!(IS_SET(EXIT(ch, door)->exit_info, EX_LOCKED))) )
return door;
else if ((is_abbrev(cmdname, "unlock")) && (IS_SET(EXIT(ch, door)->exit_info, EX_LOCKED)) )
return door;
else if ((is_abbrev(cmdname, "pick")) && (IS_SET(EXIT(ch, door)->exit_info, EX_LOCKED)) )
return door;
}
}
}
}
if ((!IS_NPC(ch)) && (!PRF_FLAGGED(ch, PRF_AUTODOOR)))
send_to_char(ch, "There doesn't seem to be %s %s here.\r\n", AN(type), type);
else if (is_abbrev(cmdname, "open"))
send_to_char(ch, "There doesn't seem to be %s %s that can be opened.\r\n", AN(type), type);
else if (is_abbrev(cmdname, "close"))
send_to_char(ch, "There doesn't seem to be %s %s that can be closed.\r\n", AN(type), type);
else if (is_abbrev(cmdname, "lock"))
send_to_char(ch, "There doesn't seem to be %s %s that can be locked.\r\n", AN(type), type);
else if (is_abbrev(cmdname, "unlock"))
send_to_char(ch, "There doesn't seem to be %s %s that can be unlocked.\r\n", AN(type), type);
else
send_to_char(ch, "There doesn't seem to be %s %s that can be picked.\r\n", AN(type), type);
return (-1);
}
}
