I was trying to make it so you couldn't get to a differen't starsystem in my MUD. I added a password thing and that all works right, but I'm doing something wrong with the code. I've tried using str_cmp to compare arg4 to starsystem->password, but I don't know. I guess I'm doing something wrong. I'll post the code in the next post since it is larger than 6000 characters otherwise. Thanks for any and all help in solving this problem.

I would assume the password is an integer?

if that's the case, you would need a

pass = atoi(arg4);

before your comparison, then do your

if (pass == ship->password)
{
//password is good
}

if your password is a string.. instead do a..

if(!str_cmp(arg4, ship->password))
{
//password is good
}

I tried that, it didn't work again. It compiles alright but on the MUD it just keeps saying Permission Denied, even when you have the right password in. By the way the password is a string. What I need is for it to say if the password is wrong, but if it is right then it just keeps going and continues along with the rest of if statements in the function.

Again thanks for all help.

also if you're looking to make the password mandantory..

you would need a..

if (arg4[0] != '\0')
{
send_to_char("Please supply a password.\n\r");
return;
}

..at the begining of the function

otherwise a more complex set of checks would be needed..

if (starsystem->password && starsystem-password[0] != '\0')
{
//check for password (my previous post)
}
//else continue as normal

hope this helps or sparks an idea

ship->jz = atoi(argument);

should be..

ship->jz = atoi(arg4);

and all of your refrences to your supplied password need to be 'argument' using !str_cmp(argument, ship->password)

that should work ;-)
