I've used the portal code from the snippet site, but had to modify it to
work properly (It wasn't creating the Values correctly to be used correctly
by the "enter portal" command).
Anyways, here's what happens. I cast portal at a person or mob. It opens
a portal at both ends, and I can enter each side and be moved to the other.
Everything's fine. I stat the portal and see it's got a timer value of 5
(I'm a 54 level Imp). However, it crashes the next tick after the portal
is created. Using GDB, it crashes in limits.c when it's checking to
extract the portal. It shouldn't be TRYING to extract the portal until 5
ticks have gone by, but... well, here's some info maybe someone can help me
with...
Here's the GDB output:

Looks like the "to" is null... but I don't know how to fix it. :(
It's also calling line 1947 in comm.c. I don't know why, but here's that
area of code:
-------------------------------------- comm.c in void
act() ----------------------------------------
if (type == TO_VICT) {
if ((to = (struct char_data *) vict_obj) && SENDOK(to))
perform_act(str, ch, obj, vict_obj, to);
return;
}
/* ASSUMPTION: at this point we know type must be TO_NOTVICT or TO_ROOM
*/
if (ch && ch->in_room != NOWHERE) /********* This is line 1947 ********/
to = world[ch->in_room].people;
else if (obj && obj->in_room != NOWHERE)
to = world[obj->in_room].people;
else {
log("SYSERR: no valid target to act()!");
return;
}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------
Here's the section of code in limits.c to extract the portals:
------------------------------------------
limits.c -----------------------------------------
/* portal */
if (GET_OBJ_TYPE(j) == ITEM_PORTAL) {
if (GET_OBJ_TIMER(j) > 0)
GET_OBJ_TIMER(j)--;
if (!GET_OBJ_TIMER(j)) {
act("A glowing portal fades from existance.",
TRUE, world[j->in_room].people, j, 0, TO_ROOM);
act("A glowing portal fades from existance.",
TRUE, world[j->in_room].people, j, 0, TO_CHAR);
extract_obj(j);
}
}
------------------------------------------ In

As I mentioned before, all works well with the spell initially. It's just
the tick after that makes everything go BOOM...
Anyone see anything wrong?
