add_stage

varargs void add_stage(string * messages,
                       string skill,
                       int level,
                       string * materials,
                       string * consumables,
                       int time_modifier,
                       int pause,
                       function f,
                       string prayer,
                       int imbue_source)


Use add stage if you don't want to change an existing stage, just add one onto the end, it calculates the identifier and calls set_stage itself.

  set_stage .c

calc_old_bonus

int calc_old_bonus(int bonus)

cast_spell

int cast_spell(string words,
               int scroll,
               object staff)


The part that kick starts all of the other parts. It is called by the cast command. I think this is depreciated. Lets check!
check_benefit

mapping check_benefit(class ritual info,
                      string type)


A list of all of the things that can decrease difficulty. This uses the same types as check impediment, but returns a mapping containing a string and a float describing why it is more difficult. ie: ([ "on fire", 0.75 ]); would mean that a player gets the message: It seems easier to perform Great Womble because you are on fire. They then receive a bonus of 75% to their stats. These bonuses are cumulative.
check_difficulty

mapping check_difficulty(class ritual info,
                         string type)


A list of all of the things that can increase difficulty. This uses the same types as check impediment, but returns a mapping containing a string and a float describing why it is more difficult. ie: ([ "on fire", 0.75 ]); would mean that a player gets the message: You are having trouble performing Great Womble because you are on fire. They then suffer a penalty of 75% to their stats. These penalties are cumulative.
check_impediment

string * check_impediment(class ritual info,
                          string type)


A list of all the types of impediments we are looking for. Centralised for easy access!

                set_target_check

                void set_target_check(function pointer)
                

                
                This is used to stop a ritual being cast on specific targets that aren't covered otherwise. IE: A ritual that can only be cast on frogs. set_target_check( (: $1->query_race() != "frog" :) ); would make this happen.
                
                • Parameters:
                  pointer - A function pointer to check.
                  set_targeting

                  void set_targeting(int type)
                  

                  
                  How can this ritual be targeted? The following are valid args:
                  • RITUAL_DIRECT_LIVING
                  • RITUAL_DIRECT_NON_LIVING
                  • RITUAL_DIRECT_SELF
                  • RITUAL_DIRECT_MULTIPLE
                  • RITUAL_DIRECT_EXTERN
                  • RITUAL_DIRECT_ROOM
                  It is better to use the or symbol '|' to add together flags than the plus symbol '+'. This is because if you add the same flag twice (acidently) with the + the result will be undefined, but definitely incorrect. With an or the result will still be the correct flags set.
                  
                  • Parameters:
                    type - The new targeting info.
                  • Example:
                    

                    set_targeting(0); // Cannot be directed at a target at all.

                    
                    

                    set_targeting(RITUAL_DIRECT_LIVING | RITUAL_DIRECT_NON_LIVING);

                    
                    

                    set_targeting(RITUAL_DIRECT_LIVING | RITUAL_DIRECT_MULTIPLE);
                    

                    set_teach_level

                    void set_teach_level(int level)
                    

                    
                    The minimum level required to teach this ritual. Will be modified by other factors.
                    
                    • Parameters:
                      level - This is the base level for teaching.
                      set_teach_skill

                      void set_teach_skill(string skill)
                      

                      
                      The skill check used for teaching.
                      
                      • Parameters:
                        skill - The skill.
                        teach

                        int teach(object target,
                                  string ritual)
                        

                        
                        This now uses the new guild ability system to check for allowed teachers This actually allows instructors to use teach, but I don't think players will like it, since that means the instructors have to be very high level.
