Acutally, I found the problem, It was that when I set
the integer to the wielded weapon type, it assumed were wielding one, and
didnt know how to handle it if you didnt. so I put in a check to do so, made
the code a little better, and it works fine now. Its 4am, but I got it right
:)
Although the loop wasnt the crash, I will check out the waitstate thing you
mentioned.

hit() is fine, but thanks.
I havnt had a problem with the way its set up, because it calls die
correctly, and doesnt attempt to hit() if !dead (hence, !POS_DEAD)
which I did in fight.c and offensive.c
I don't mean to sound rude of course, its always hard to help without being
able to see all the code, and therefore must assume what a person knows.

Dont forget about my part, check if wielded (to anyone trying to do the
same)

Maybe true, But I wanted to add some lag for the Big Guns..
Maybe Il give make a switch and give em about 3 to 4?

I thank you for you help, And appreciate your trying to understand my
complex code.
(complex only because I tend to code at 2-4am, and it comes wierd, wierd but
does get right :p
)
