The purpose of this snippet is to make objects that end up in rooms set to the
air sector fall to the ground. 
I wrote this snippet because the other falling object snippets I saw were inadequate.
This one should work in all cases, whether you are battling in the air and want to see
the corpse fall from the sky, disarming someone in the sky, or just dropping objects
from the sky for fun.

Please report bugs to: gph2076@crosswinds.net
If you use this on your mud, please give credit somewhere that players can see.

1. Add the following before the obj_to_room function in handler.c:

int crash_protect = 0;

2. Add the following before the return keyword in the obj_to_room function in handler.c:

   if ((pRoomIndex->sector_type == SECT_AIR) && (pRoomIndex->exit[DIR_DOWN] != NULL))
    {
	crash_protect++;
	if (crash_protect == 10) return; 
	act( "$t falls from the sky above.\n\r", pRoomIndex->exit[DIR_DOWN]->u1.to_room->people, 
obj->short_descr, NULL, TO_ROOM);
	act( "$t falls from the sky above.\n\r", pRoomIndex->exit[DIR_DOWN]->u1.to_room->people, 
obj->short_descr, NULL, TO_CHAR);
	act( "$t falls through the air below you.\n\r", pRoomIndex->people, obj->short_descr, NULL, TO_ROOM);
	act( "$t falls through the air below you.\n\r", pRoomIndex->people, obj->short_descr, NULL, TO_CHAR);
	obj_from_room( obj );
	obj_to_room( obj, pRoomIndex->exit[DIR_DOWN]->u1.to_room);

    }
    crash_protect = 0;

3. The number that now is 10 can be set to whatever is appropriate for your mud; it means
the maximum number of rooms in a row that an object may fall. This limit was added to prevent
infinite loops that crash the mud.
