Ok.. this is rather hmm, odd.
Im currently in the process of writing a new fight system from scratch
(for fun, headaches, and because i want more control over the fight
system, eh im not using rom-styled fight code, so it makes sense) anyways..
Everything is thusfar complete. (Short of tweaking numbers, adding in
effects like weapon knowledge, santuary etc)
and im working on a replacement for raw_kill. Its much like a clone of
the orginal.
the code is:
void death_kill(CHAR_DATA * ch, CHAR_DATA * victim, bool announce, int
to_room)
{
char buf[MSL];
// Tell them the died, or killed something
sprintf(buf, "{RYou have been Killed by %s!!\n\r", victim->name);
stc(buf, ch);
sprintf(buf, "{RYou have killed %s!!\n\r", ch->name);
stc(buf, victim);
// Stop the fighting
stop_fighting(ch, TRUE);
// Reset the charater..
char_to_room(ch, get_room_index (50));
ch->position = POS_RESTING;
ch->hit = 1;
ch->mana = 1;
ch->move = 1;
return;
}
Granted its nothing pretty. (room 50 being my temp deathroom, since im
not actually sure how i want to handle death, im torn between a few
ideas, so for the time being im just gonna keep it diku-ish and put them
back into the game with 1 hp, resting and in the starter room)
Heres the problem. I get killed by mr Puff the Fractal dragon, I 'die',
get sent to the room, resting etc. But, the room we were fighting in
suddenly becomes null. Its gone. I transfer there, mud stalls (not
crashed, just loops). I can transfer Puff out of the room fine, but end
up with this Char_from_room: ch not found. I try "at 1 look" and it too
stalls, room 2 stat also stalls, so my only consulsion is, im croupting
the room somehow.
Nothing, anywhere in my fighting code deals with rooms (er yet) or any
sort of room data, short of the char_to_room.
Any ideas on what is going on? This one has me beat ;)
