Question Fight.c crash

Added rip, kill and dt counter.

How come this line in fight.c in the pictures, some times crashes the mud ?


3rd pic is bt of core

Is it because killer is NULL?.. maybe a check for that before incrementing the counters?

How can i find out if killer is NULL

And how can i code it to prevent it, if that is the case...i hate crashes

have tried killing ALOT of mobs, like 4000 and it has crashed only twice.

Where the screenshots show ch = 0xa880d68 and killer = 0x0, the 0x0 means NULL or pointing to nothing.
So if you try and access values on it - like the kill counter, it will usually crash.

To prevent that you would do something like this:
That should be the same as writing "If killer doesn't point to NULL" eg: if (killer != NULL)

circlemud snippet had:

__fight.c__

if (!IS_NPC(victim))
GET_RIP_CNT(victim) += 1;
if (!IS_NPC(ch))
GET_KILL_CNT(ch) += 1;
