Actually, that wouldn't take too much code, just the extra line saved and read to/from the pfile for the item #, and the check to see if it's in the room, although I've got a couple of additions to this idea... you would want to make sure the piece of furniture, if it does exist, isn't going to break any of its rules by putting this person to sleep on it... i.e. if it only holds 2 people and 2 people are already sleeping on it, you'd want to just sleep the new entry on the floor instead of the bed or whatever... also, it's probably not such a good idea to create the object if it doesn't exist, or else players will eventually exploit that when they realize they can take this 200/200 recliner or something, sleep, quit, have their friend pick it up and walk out of the room, and then re-enter and clone the item for themselves... I'd say if it's not there or it's going to break its own limits by assigning them to sleeping on it, you should just sleep them on the floor... my 2 cents :D

Check to see if the object is there, and if such, simply put them to sleep on the object setting ch->on to what the object number is, if not load the object drop it in the room and then set ch->on...do this before calling do_look... you could pop a message to the room like So and So poofs from non existance sleeping on bleh.... so players knew what was going on.. this is a long drawn out process, but this is what I would do... This would also take quite a bit of code.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Witt Hinton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Richard Lindsey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 15, 2005 10:52 AM Subject: Re: waking others >I think the best option for this ix would be to code in the do_quit > function a part where they just deault to standing each time they > quit.
