====== Skill Jumping ======

===== Description =====

User can 'skip' over 1-2 spaces in a selected direction. Distance depends on [[:characters:carrying_capacity|weight carried]] , [[:characters:str|STR]] and [[:characters:dex|DEX]] of the user. This skill may also be used as an attack.  Jumping is a Physique skill type.

===== Use Skill =====

Unknown, should immediately attempt to jump in the direction, the player is facing. \\
Syntax : ''use_skill jumping''

===== Ready Skill =====

User can 'skip' over 1-2 spaces in a selected direction when fired with the shift key. \\
This will attack if a creature is in the way. \\
Syntax : ''ready_skill jumping''

===== Mathematics =====
From [[:server:server_compiling|Server]] source // crossfire/server/skills.c // __ int jump(object *pl, int dir, object *skill) __ : \\
''stats=str*str*str*dex * skill->level;''

Distance limited to 2 tiles:
<code c>
    if(pl->carrying!=0)		/* don't want div by zero !! */
	spaces=(int) (stats/pl->carrying);
    else
	spaces=2;	/* pl has no objects - gets the far jump */

    if(spaces>2)
	 spaces = 2;
    else if(spaces==0) {
	new_draw_info(NDI_UNIQUE, 0,pl,"You are carrying too much weight to jump.");
	return 0;
</code>

===== Discussion =====
The source code has a comment that asks for allowing a greater distance to jump :
> * Perhaps we should allow more spaces based on level, eg, level 50
> * jumper can jump several spaces?
