it is probably down further in the function. just move your new code

and put it under the for loop, or make the for loop yourself above the new
code and remove the old one......................
judgeing from all this code, you don't have a character for ch...
there should be a for loop in the code that looks like this
for (ch = combat_list;ch; ch->next_combat_list) {
next_combat_list = ch->next_fighting;
/* entire rest of perform_violence goes in here */
} /*end of for loop*/
} /* end of perform_violence
for further explanation, ch is equal to the list of them fighting, and
perform violence advances ch a round, then ch is equal to the next
fighting player, and the same thing is done until there are no more
players and ch is equal to null. What you did was have no player equal to
ch, you just used a ch with no character in it. This is vital to
perform_violence. I think you can do the mob multi-attacks on your own
tho.....
