I posted an attack code a long time ago, after I saw the one that added
attacks as skills. I detested that idea because it was limiting and used
flags. It was not hard to create the system to allow any number of
attacks
and if you want a second attack as a skill, you can add it easily or
just
add a check if they are a certain class and above a certain level (or
whatever
you want to use for a basis for that second attack) and add one to the
attack
phase. BTW, this is not to slam the person who wrote the code.. All code
is good
because it provides references on how to do things.
A fix for your possible problem (and was a problem with mine):
void hit(struct char_data * ch, struct char_data * victim, int type)
{
struct obj_data *wielded = GET_EQ(ch, WEAR_WIELD);
int w_type, victim_ac, calc_thaco, dam, diceroll;
+ if(!ch || !victim)
+ return;
/* check if the character has a fight trigger */
fight_mtrigger(ch);
