Checking for Fires in a room

[Larethiel]

I am looking for a way to make an object check for a fire in the room it is being used in. The object is something that would require being boiled and has an intercept program for that. In another thread I saw this

if ovnumhere(30) to if otypehere(34)

and the vnum for a generic fire being 34.

Now if I use otypehere(34), area checker will complain about

integer (otypehere) statement on line: if otypehere(34)

The same happens when using if ovnumhere(30). Using otyperoom(34), the program will work, however it doesn't seem to check for a fire because it will work in any room.

How could I check for a generic fire being present when trying to use the object?

The if check requires a rhs. e.g.

Code: Select all

if otypehere(34) > 0

I tried this but it will not check for the generic fire with the vnum 30 even if that is in the room. The vnum 34 seems to apply to a blank scroll. I will let it check for the generic vnum 30 fire. Is 34 incorrect or am I missing something?

34 is an object type, not a VNUM.

Oh, that explains that. Thanks!
