> af.bitvector = AFF_HIDING; Let's start with the easy troubleshoots. Could it be as something small as this (and other checks) supposed to be AFF_HIDE? Although you should be getting compiler errors if it's supposed to be AFF_HIDE since AFF_HIDING should be undeclared. Or maybe your test character's 'hide' skill is 1%, or they don't know it at all. Definitely a problem there.
What do you mean 'will not work for chars'? Clarify. They are not hiding? Have you tried to see if the bit is setting correctly by stat <charname> after they have typed 'hide'? (In stat, you'll see a line "Affected by <XXX>". If 'hide' is not showing up here, then see below). If the hide bit is being set correctly, then you'll have to take a look through bool can_see (*ch,*ch) to see if maybe that's the culprit. If not there, then repost, identifying what you have boiled the problem down to. - Jeremy If hide is not showing up in a stat, then there's a few potential problems. Firstly, there's a possibility that hide is not in the ascii table lookup. Look in char *affect_bit_name( int vector ) for that. Or the bit is not being set correctly. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick St Jean" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2004 10:07 AM Subject: Another affects bug > I am working on actually cleaning up hide, trying to get > it to work properly, but I am having a problem getting > the IS_AFFECTED to check and see of the AFF_HIDE flag is set > on chars.
