I have written up an assassination function.. and looking for ways to improve
it. I hacked slay, and backstab to pieces making it, and i would appreciate if
someone can help the newbie coder here by commenting what the lines of code do
(i know what send_to_char is ;) ) Any help is appreciated, and hope someone
finds some use of this. It is my first code i've written (even if its hacking
two to make one) I do not wish for any credit, because the credit deserves to
go to the makers of rom.
Maybe someone can help me improve it?

void do_assassinate( CHAR_DATA *ch, char *argument )

{
send_to_char("Assassinate Whom?\n\r",ch);
return;
