Question Control weather

Hey

When i try
cast 'control weather' dhdhjf
or something else
Then it just says okay

If i use
cast 'control weather' worse or better
Then it stil just say okay

Nothing really seems to happend. Is there a fix to get it to work ?

It is defined in spells.h
and in spell_parser.c
and assigned to a class in class.c

but i dont see the actual ASPELL(spell_control_weather) anywhere

HELP

Yeah, I don't see the ASPELL for it. My guess is it is a placeholder for budding coders such as yourself to create the function.

Once you've written that, you add it to call_magic. Something like this:

if (IS_SET(SINFO.routines, MAG_MANUAL))
switch (spellnum) {
case SPELL_CONTROL_WEATHER: MANUAL_SPELL(spell_control_weather); break;

Funny thing is though, that you can do

cast 'control weather' worse or better

Just nothing happends. So somehow it must be in the code ? Just not as a ASPELL ?

It basically just runs through the process of casting a spell that has no effect:

do_cast : checks this is a legitimate spell, which it is because it has been defined in spells.h and spello. Spello gives it the mana cost and name and things like that.

Then

cast_spell : checks you are in the correct position - not sleeping etc. This is where the OK message comes from.

Then

call_magic : this does all the cool stuff. If the spell deals damage or casts armour and things like that. Because Control Weather is MAG_MANUAL it looks for the additional code to run - which happens to not exist.

Yeah it's an unfinished spell. Funny how long it's been there. It goes way back to legacy CircleMUD.

We might as well come up with an implementation for the next TBA release (whenever that is planned for).

I'll throw something together this week, unless somebody beats me to it.
