Description:
The hit_player call afflicts damage on a living, like it is done in a
battle. The damage is normally reduced from the current hit points of
the living.
If this function is called on another living as the current player,
a battle starts.
If the damage inflicted is greater than the current hit points of the
living and if the living is no wizard, it dies.
The dam argument must be greater than zero.
The living and its surrounding should be informed about the damage
inflicted using the efuns write and say.
Return value:
Hit_player returns the actually afflicted damage. A living cannot get
more damage than it has hit points.
Examples:
this_player()->hit_player(10);
