I have made a Dual Class / Tripple Class code for smaug FUSS. That is to say I have the dual/trip class code in and have run into afew glitches. the one I'd like to address right now is CAN_CAST here is what my mud.h has

Code will follow below:
---------------------------------------------
#define CAN_CAST(ch) (((ch)->class != 2 && (ch)->class != 3) \
&& ((ch)->dual_class != 2 && (ch)->dual_class != 3) \
&& ((ch)->trip_class != 2 && (ch)->trip_class != 3))
---------------------------------------------

Now obviously I have a problem here :) Can some one give
me a solution that will allow one to cast if the
class is a caster, if the dual_class is a caster, or if the
trip_class is a caster. For instance If I start as a
warrior and dual at a set level to mage I want to have that char be able to cast from that point on.

thanks,
sokol

What exactly is the error? Are you getting a compile error, it it not working correctly, allowing anyone to cast, or is it not letting anyone cast, etc.

Nobody ever expects the spanish inquisition!

It's not letting them cast.
"You can't do that."
Any non immortal can't cast.

The way it is now is it's looking for the player to be anything but class 2 or 3, dual_class 2 or 3, or trip_class 2 or 3.
I'm looking for a better CAN_CAST solution.

Hmm..I'm reading:
#define CAN_CAST(ch) (((ch)->class != 2 && (ch)->class != 3) \
&& ((ch)->dual_class != 2 && (ch)->dual_class != 3) \
&& ((ch)->trip_class != 2 && (ch)->trip_class != 3))
as:
"If class is not 2 and 3, AND dual is not 2 and 3, AND trip is not 2 and 3".

so if any of your 3 classes are 2 or 3, then you can't cast...i think changing the &&'s on the outside to ||'s would fix it up.

that way if any of the 3 classes are magic using classes, then they can cast. but i suck at coding, so i could be wrong (;

Nope, I initialy had it set to || which is OR and that also had a problem. I solved the problem, been away from muds for awhile, but it seems in smaug you have to have 1 or above in the spell to cast period. Unless it's my code causing this.
