Not sure I follow here... Each connection will have a unique descriptor, so using this as a check for comparison will fail everytime.
Can you elaborate? Perhaps you are talking about the remote hostname or something? -----Original Message----- From: Matt Foltz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 1:51 AM To: Bob Gries Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Embracing But Controlling Multiplay I had a brainstorm one night about ways to control multiplaying. What I came up with was to make a check_multi function which compares the descriptors of both players. If identical, it fails the check. Then you would put the check into anything like give, grouping, etc. The only problem is that there's still ways around it (dropping items, softening mobs, etc). Of course, you could take it to the extreme and not let another character login if the descriptor is already connected. Just a thought. -Matt Foltz --- Bob Gries <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Greetings.
