[CF-Devel] healing potions

[crossfire-devel at archives.real-time.com]

I think that it is good that the spell is in the object's inventory and
- that is better than a spell number, but I don't like creating a lot of
treasure files for arches that will contain a single item in their
inventory.  How can or could we use arch notation to allow us to specify
an object's inventory?  other_arch seems reasonable but doesn't work and
it would be nice to be able to add in a list of items.
  As for a fix for healing potions - I did try making the arch use a
treasure list but still had the same problem - the arch worked on the
map and not in creators or with the create command...

        My guess is that this is related to the way the potions now work.

        Potions act like scrolls and wands, in that they contain a spell which is what

        Back to the point - when the potions are created on maps, or in shops, the

      basically, it converts the 'sp 35' to the heal spell.

        I note that the move_creator function doesn't deal with treasures at all -

      thus, for example, if you had a creator make an orc, the orc would have no treasure.

        The create DM command will in fact do the correct thing as related to treasure

      lists, so to fix that, the 'sp 35' line from the arch should be removed, with

      soemthing like a 'randomitems potion_heal', and then create a matching

      treasurelist that contains that one spell.
