I do believe that's your problem.
you probably shouldn't have a check for IS_NPC(victim) after you've
already killed the victim.
you may need something like
if (!IS_NPC(ch) && PRF_FLAGGED(ch, PRF_AUTOLOOT))
{
if (IS_NPC(victim))
{ die(victim); do_get(ch, "all corpse", 0, 0); }
}
else die(victim);
this will still keep PC's from autolooting PC's,
and save you the trouble of checking the IS_NPC bit on a dead
mob.
what this does, is checks FIRST if the character is an PC,
and has AUTOLOOT. If so, and the victim is an NPC,
THEN we kill the victim, and get all corpse,
else its a PC, and don't want AUTOLOOT on PC vs PC, so we
just die(victim);
the other altervative is to allow PC's to AUTOLOOT other PC's,
and that's just a simple removal of the IS_NPC(victim) check.
that will solve your problem too.
if (!IS_NPC(ch) && PRF_FLAGGED(ch, PRF_AUTOLOOT))
do_get(ch,"all corpse",0,0);
just remember, in functions that kill of a mob, or extract objs,
make sure that there is STILL an object.
there may be other ways of doing this, (I know this from Computer Science I)
and if you find them, good for you :-)
