I agree... We coded hide so that only certain actions, ones which would
actually do things, will take you out of hide...
I also wrote a time handling system for commands, so the task of casting a
spell takes a while and all your commands are queued until your spell is
cast, then the commands are executed (assuming you again have enough time
units back). Some commands take zero time, like who and various other out
of game things. This also effects combat, so if you look around the room
you have less time for your combat manouvers, thus don't attack at all this
turn. Etc. It works quite well overall.
Fluffy down to the bare bones,
David.
