When ever I slay a NPC,
[*****] BUG: Obj_from_char: null ch.
is printed to a log file until the game crashes. I don't know whats causing
it, or how to fix it.
I can kill a NPC normally (via weapons/spells) and it doesn't crash. I can
slay a PC and it doesn't crash.
Here is what GDB gave me:

here is raw_kill:
void raw_kill( CHAR_DATA *victim )
{
int i;
stop_fighting( victim, TRUE );
death_cry( victim );
make_corpse( victim );
if ( IS_NPC(victim) )
{
victim->pIndexData->killed++;
kill_table[URANGE(0, victim->level, MAX_LEVEL-1)].killed++;
extract_char( victim, TRUE );
return;
}
extract_char( victim, FALSE );
while ( victim->affected )
affect_remove( victim, victim->affected );
victim->affected_by = race_table[victim->race].aff;
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++)
victim->armor[i]= 100;
victim->position = POS_RESTING;
victim->hit = UMAX( 1, victim->hit );
victim->mana = UMAX( 1, victim->mana );
victim->move = UMAX( 1, victim->move );
if (!IS_NPC(victim))
{
gain_condition( victim, COND_BLEEDING, -100 );
}
/* save_char_obj( victim ); we're stable enough to not need this :) */
return;
}
do_slay:
void do_slay( CHAR_DATA *ch, char *argument )
{
CHAR_DATA *victim;
char arg[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];
one_argument( argument, arg );
if ( arg[0] == '\0' )
{
send_to_char( "Slay whom?\n\r", ch );
return;
}
if ( ( victim = get_char_room( ch, arg ) ) == NULL )
{
send_to_char( "They aren't here.\n\r", ch );
return;
}
if ( ch == victim )
{
send_to_char( "Suicide is a mortal sin.\n\r", ch );
return;
}
if ( !IS_NPC(victim) && victim->level >= get_trust(ch) )
{
send_to_char( "You failed.\n\r", ch );
return;
}
act( "{1You slay $M in cold blood!{x", ch, NULL, victim, TO_CHAR );
act( "{1$n slays you in cold blood!{x", ch, NULL, victim, TO_VICT );
act( "{1$n slays $N in cold blood!{x", ch, NULL, victim, TO_NOTVICT );
raw_kill( victim );
return;
}
I can post some more code. I asked a few people and they don't know what it
is. Any help is wanted. Thank you
