Re: Max # of item help

simple...

Each room on rom has a list of pointers to each of the objects which are in 
the room. Simply cycle through them and if the object is already there, then 
simply exit out of the function with a message stating such.

For example:

your object struct  *temp_pointer;

for ( temp_pointer = character_pointer->room_pointer->obj_list;  temp != 
NULL, temp = temp->next_in_list  )
{
    if ( temp->index_number == spring->index_number )
    {
         print some message to the player saying a spring already exists
         return;
    }
}

this is all pseudo code but if you know enough bout programming and your 
code base, you should be able to fill in what you need..
