Corpses

Hmm ok im playing with even more corpse messages... i made a switch:

  switch (killedbytype) {

  case  SPELL_FIRESHIELD:
  case  SPELL_FIREBALL:sprintf(spec_desc,"smoldering remains of %s are",
                        (IS_NPC(ch) ? ch->player.short_descr : GET_NAME(ch)));
                        break;
  default:sprintf(spec_desc,"corpse of %s is",
                (IS_NPC(ch) ? ch->player.short_descr : GET_NAME(ch)));
                break;
  }


changed:
 } else {
  corpse->name = strdup("corpse");
  snprintf(buf2, sizeof(buf2), "The %s lying here.", spec_desc);      <<<---New
/*  snprintf(buf2, sizeof(buf2), "The corpse of %s is lying here.", GET_NAME(ch)); */ <<<--- Old
  corpse->description = strdup(buf2);

  snprintf(buf2, sizeof(buf2), "the corpse of %s", GET_NAME(ch));
  corpse->short_description = strdup(buf2);
}







Got it to compile, i had to add:
void make_corpse(struct char_data *ch, int killedbytype);

void raw_kill(struct char_data *ch,int killedbytype);

void die(struct char_data *ch,int killedbytype);

Also i had to add:
make_corpse(ch, killedbytype);

And added 0 to a bunch of die places and raw_kill like: raw_kill(vict, ch, 0);
What is best to add 0 or NULL ??


But killing a mob with fireball just got the corpse the default message....Any ideas ??
