I've been looking over the class struct but I can't seem to fully figure out how to let races have skills. Just the same as classes, I want races to have skills too. A little help?

I have that somewhere, but I don't seem to like it. Its somewhere to start, but... there was a reason I didn't use it. Something to do with it replacing a lot of main functions I think.

[EDIT] Another reason I don't like it, is because it doesn't seem correct.


void learn_from_failure

    sklvl = skill_table[sn]->skill_level[ch->class];
becomes:
    sklvl = skill_level( ch, sn);

Yet learn_from_fail has no sklvl.


void learn_from_failure( CHAR_DATA *ch, int sn )
{
    int adept, chance;

    if ( IS_NPC(ch) || ch->pcdata->learned[sn] <= 0 )
        return;
    chance = ch->pcdata->learned[sn] + (5 * skill_table[sn]->difficulty);
    if ( chance - number_percent() > 25 )
        return;
    adept = GET_ADEPT(ch, sn);
    if ( ch->pcdata->learned[sn] < (adept-1) )
        ch->pcdata->learned[sn] = UMIN( adept, ch->pcdata->learned[sn] + 1 );
}
