Don't know the feasibility of this, but in interpret, there's this:
/*
* Dispatch the command.
*/
(*cmd_table[cmd].do_fun) ( ch, argument );
So maybe we can do something to this. (again, not sure of the feasibility of
this, may require
more work than estimated):
merc.h, could add to:
struct pc_data
{
...
char *last_cmd;
int cmd_iteration;
...
}
so right above the dispatch, you could add:
ch->pcdata->last_cmd = cmd_table[cmd].name ? ch->pcdata->cmd_iteration++ :
ch->pcdata->last_cmd = cmd_table[cmd].name;
(maybe strdup instead?)
and then:
ch->pcdata->cmd_iteration > cmd_table[cmd].max_iteration ?
send_to_char("Spam whatever
blah.\n\r", ch) : (*cmd_table[cmd].do_fun) ( ch, argument );
========
Again, not sure if this is even remotely feasible. Heck, rom's method is
probably better.
Of course, this wouldn't prevent one from doing n,n,n,n,look,n,n,n,n; but
that's nothing new.
