Question TYPE_SLASH

Why is this crashing my mud ?

if ((GET_HIT(ch) < -30) && (GET_OBJ_VAL(GET_EQ(ch, WEAR_WIELD), 3) == TYPE_SLASH - TYPE_HIT)) {

I want the check to only work if mob is killed with slash weapon. Its added to make_corpse

is there a check before this for whether GET_EQ(ch, WEAR_WIELD) is null?

I want it to do something special if its not an undead, and player in last hit put the mob under -30 hp and is using a slash weapon

My immediate thought was that in that case you'll want to check GET_HIT(victim) instead.
And add a "&& GET_EQ(ch, WEAR_WIELD) " before the attack type check.

Atm Im using the above code in make_corpse without the slash part. To besides a corpse also load a head, If the mob in the last hit gets below -30 HP when it dies. And that works perfect.

Then thought it would make most sense, if it only happened with a sharp weapon, so tried to add the slash part in. But that just crashes the game.

So not sure where excatly you would want me to look.

I reckon make a new function for your severed head creation (what horrific mud are you building by the way? haha!)

Back up in raw_kill() is where I'd add the head severing.
This way you still have access to *ch and *killer data, so you can check if the killer was using a weapon - and if it was indeed a slashing weapon.

Just pop in in before the make_corpse(ch); call.

Once you get into make_corpse() you really only have access to the *ch information, of whom the corpse will be created.
