Aliases%skillAffectMerge( )
Parameterscharacter @target, mixed @skill, string @location, integer @modifier, integer @duration [, mixed @flags [, @aveDuration [, @aveModifier ]]]

    This function enables the merging of an existing affect of the given skill
    @type with affect defined by this function's parameters. For the first 6
    parameters see the description for the %skillAffectAdd() function. The
    @aveDuration parameter should be set to a 1 or a 0. When set to 1 the
    duration of the existing affect and the current affect to be merged are
    averaged. The @aveDuration parameters should also be set to a 1 or 0. When
    set to 1 the modifier amount of the existing affect and the current affect
    ot be marged are averaged. the default values for @aveDuration and
    @aveModifer are both 0 -- in other words the new merge affect takes the
    duration and modifier provided to this function.

    Example:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    //
    // Sleep target for 10 hours (ticks). If the target is already asleep
    // then they will now sleep for another 10 hours.
    //
    %skillAffectMerge( @target, "sleep", NONE, 0, 10 )
