I want to add dynamical delays into my MUD. It means when player insert one or two times same command then didn't get any delay. But if he start spamming same command (insert three or more times same command) then he got delay. It's good for killing things. Just like player types 'kill *an Orc*' and orc moves out from room comes text: 'They aren't here.' and player didn't get any delays. But if he spamm 'kill *an Orc' more than two times then he got delay.

Anyone have some ideas ?
Sorry for english.

if (command == last command)
++command counter;
else
last command = command;

if (command counter > 3)
WAIT_STATE( ch, X );

You left out an important bit:

if (command == last_command)
{
  ++same_command_counter;
}

else
{
  last_command = command;
  same_command_counter = 0
}

if (same_command_counter > 3)
...

.

Ooops, hehe, that'll teach me for writing pseudocode while I'm feeding a baby.
