That's already been said: inheritance

I hacked Ultima XX way back when: it was all tables. I find that even with OOP, tables (dictionaries) have their place.

I`m curious to know, c++ hasn`t been around since forever, how was this problem dealt with in the C days?

There are a few ways to organize everything on your screen. One way is to use the built-in organizational tools that your operating system provides. For example, on a Mac you can use Spaces to create different "areas" on your screen to keep things separate. 

Another way to organize your screen is to use third-party apps. There are a number of these available, and they can be very helpful in keeping your screen organized and tidy.

A factory is a way of organizing certain things based on a certain need.

to my knowledge it`s a well defined pattern to create objects.

#include <iostream> 
using namespace std; 

class Vehicle { 
public: 
    virtual void printVehicle() = 0; 
    static Vehicle* Create(VehicleType type); 
}; 
class TwoWheeler : public Vehicle { 
public: 
    void printVehicle() { 
        cout << "I am two wheeler" << endl; 
    } 
}; 

  
Vehicle* Vehicle::Create() { 
        return new TwoWheeler(); 
} 
  
// Client class 
class Client { 
public: 
  
   
    Client() 
    { 
        
    } 

    ~Client() { 
        if (pVehicle) { 
            delete[] pVehicle; 
            pVehicle = NULL; 
        } 
    } 
    void BuildVehicle()
    {
     pVehicle = Vehicle::Create(); 
    }
    Vehicle* getVehicle()  { 
        return pVehicle; 
    } 
  
private: 
    Vehicle *pVehicle; 
}; 
  
 
int main() { 
    Client *pClient = new Client(); 
    pClient->BuildVechicle();
    Vehicle * pVehicle = pClient->getVehicle(); 
    pVehicle->printVehicle(); 
    return 0; 
}

That is not really about a Factory, just about creating objects
