You're missing a couple of { and }'s at the end where you check if
message!=NULL.
Furthermore, I'm not sure if your for-loop in combination with the
if-statement intern does make sense, since it returns when the
first character in the room is an NPC.
Anyway, try something like this:
// search for a player
for (vch=ch->in_room->people;vch!=NULL;vch=vch->next_in_room)
if (!IS_NPC(vch)) break;
// none found, exit
if (vch==NULL)
return FALSE;
// 60% chance it doesn't get woken up.
if (number_percent()<60)
return FALSE;
// *cheer mob*
act($n roars in pain as it is accidently stepped upon and ATTACKS!",
ch,NULL,vch,TO_ALL);
multi_hit(ch,vch,TYPE_UNDEFINED);
return TRUE;
oh yeah, // is a bad way of commenting if you're not using C++ :-P
Edwin, for (vch=ch->in_room->people;vch!=NULL &&
IS_NPC(vch);vch=vch->next_in_room) ;
