gcmaxxon Warrior Member # 2796	written Saturday, September 10 2005 15:28 Profile #0 Hi, Here is a piece of "for next" coding , Ops!, wrong language, that I do not quite understand. quote: For example (i.e.) : i = 0 while (char_ok(i) == 0) {i = i + 1; } ... append_char_name(i); ... I guess my questions are : what character's name is appended? and just how is it displayed to the player? Thanks before hand for any help. gcmaxxon :confused: -------------------- quote: " He loved maps, and in his hall there hung a large one of the Country Round with all his favourite walks marked on it in red ink." ---The Hobbit pg21 Posts: 97 \| Registered: Wednesday, March 19 2003 08:00

To get each character's name, the appending name line should go inside of the curly braces. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, September 10 2005 21:58 Profile Homepage #2 I'm guessing that he got that code out of one of my scenarios — the bracketing is distinctive. The idea is that the while loop finds the first living character. It starts with 0, and if 0 is dead, it checks 1, and so on until it finds the party leader. So i is the first living character, and that character's name is appended to the text buffer. That displays nothing. Notice a few lines later that there's this: Or something along those lines. The get_buffer_text saves the text buffer to dlgstr, and then message_dialog pops up dlgstr. This is the way to make a message box address the leading character by name. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

gcmaxxon Warrior Member # 2796	written Saturday, September 10 2005 22:41 Profile #3 Hi, Yes, you are correct. It is coding from "Castle Pudideum". I thought this was one (maybe the only way) way of displaying one of the party's name. Can I use your "dlgstr" coding?
