I know this is probably incredibly simple, but I'm fairly retarded. I'm trying to make a function act differently in the case of a specific mob, so I need a way to check the vnum.

I'm using a godwars codebase. Right now I have this going

if (IS_NPC && (ch->MOB_INDEX_DATA->vnum > 44999) && (ch->MOB_INDEX_DATA->vnum < 45001))

and its a complete failure. =[

Help!

Well..

if (IS_NPC && (ch->MOB_INDEX_DATA->vnum > 44999) && (ch->MOB_INDEX_DATA->vnum < 45001))

Firstly...if your going to do that...why make it so complicated? I don't know circle, or whatever base ur using, so I don't know the parameters, but I'd assume it'd be something like...

if(IS_NPC(ch) && ch->MOB_INDEX_DATA->vnum == 45000) { ... }

If you check the definition for 'ch', which I'm guessing will be a CHAR_DATA, you can eventually find out what the field name is for the MOB_INDEX_DATA structure. It's probably something like 'pIndexData'. Right now you're referencing the type, not the name.

Also, it's probably IS_NPC(ch).
