Viewing Filter

Post by Zyx »

Paul could you allow the Viewing Filter to capture also the event when the player examine the stats of a character (cling with empty hand on the eye).
Parameter 1 (object ID) could yield -1, parameter 0 would be not pertinent and &describe useless in this case.

Maybe a penalty against dexterity for poking yourself in the eye?

CSBwin995.zip has this feature.
Totally un-tested except to see that the viewing
filter does, indeed, get called when a character
view his stats. Documentation updated.

Notice that this breaks with my tradition of
backward compatibility. The new CSBwin could
cause problems with old viewing filters that do
not expect a -1 in the object ID parameter. But
there are probably very few such dungeons other
than ConfluxIII.
