Here's my first attempt at rewriting the logic in do_hit to accomplish what you want:
Code:
ACMD(do_hit) { char arg[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH]; struct char_data *vict; one_argument(argument, arg); if (!*arg) send_to_char(ch, "Hit who?\r\n"); else if (!(vict = get_char_vis(ch, arg, NULL, FIND_CHAR_ROOM))) send_to_char(ch, "That player is not here.\r\n"); else if (vict == ch) { send_to_char(ch, "You hit yourself...OUCH!.\r\n"); act("$n hits $mself, and says OUCH!", FALSE, ch, 0, vict, TO_ROOM); } else if (AFF_FLAGGED(ch, AFF_CHARM) && (ch->master == vict)) act("$N is just such a good friend, you simply can't hit $M.", FALSE, ch, 0, vict, TO_CHAR); else { if (!CONFIG_PK_ALLOWED && !IS_NPC(vict) && !IS_NPC(ch)) check_killer(ch, vict); if ((GET_POS(ch) == POS_STANDING) && (vict != FIGHTING(ch))) { if (GET_DEX(ch) > GET_DEX(vict) || (GET_DEX(ch) == GET_DEX(vict) && rand_number(1, 2) == 1)) /* if faster */ hit(ch, vict, TYPE_UNDEFINED); /* first */ else hit(vict, ch, TYPE_UNDEFINED); /* or the victim is first */ WAIT_STATE(ch, PULSE_VIOLENCE + 2); + } else if (GET_POS(ch) == POS_FIGHTING && vict != FIGHTING(ch) && FIGHTING(vict) == ch) { + if (GET_SKILL(ch, SKILL_SWITCH) > rand_number(1,95)) { + send_to_char(ch, "You switch your target!\r\n"); + act("$n switches target to $N!", FALSE, ch, 0, vict, TO_ROOM); + FIGHTING(ch) = vict; + } else { + send_to_char(ch, "You failed to switch your target!\r\n"); + act("$n misses a swing at $N!", FALSE, ch, 0, vict, TO_ROOM); + } } else send_to_char(ch, "You're fighting the best you can!\r\n"); } }
This is untested browser code - but it should work.

Ok code compiles..But i dont seem to be able to switch target. What do i type ?

If i type kill mouse, and wanna attack rat instead, then if i type kill rat while fighting mouse i get:

You're fighting the best you can!

The example code will not allow you to attack a "new" target, but only let you switch between the ones you are already fighting.
So, for instance you are fighting mob "A" and kick mob "B", both will be fighting you. You can then switch to hitting the other mob by issuing "kill B".

I tried fighting A and then tried to kill B

and then got: You're fighting the best you can!

still just hitting A
So kill B dont work.


Switch needs to stop fighting A and then attack B, while A still ofc hits you and B also hits you.

Any ideas how to get it working ?

Will a stop_fighting(ch); not be needed before attacking the new ?
