senddone()

Function:

send_done( c : string, a :unitptr, m : unitptr, t :unitptr, p : integer, arg : string, o : unitptr, i : integer);
  c
         the command string that is sending the message
  a
         the unitptr (activator) that activated the message
  m
         the unitptr (medium) that the Dil is acting through
  t
         the unitptr (target) the Dil is acting on
  p
         the power of the message
  arg
         the argument sent with the message
  o
         the unitptr (other) you also want the message to go to
  i
         CMD_AUTO_XXX to send a CMD_AUTO or 0


This sends the 'SFB_DONE' message to any dils that are waiting for it in the surrounding area and to the other pointer if not null. The following is just one example you can find many more in commands.zon

Built-in variables:

 activator : unitptr
 medium    : unitptr
 target    : unitptr
 argument  : string
 power     : integer
Example:
dilbegin do_read (arg:string);
var
brdname:string;
        i:integer;
        u:unitptr;
        x:extraptr;
        ln:integer;
        temp:string;
        templist:stringlist;
        buff:string;
        f_name:string;
        act_str:string;
