| | It depends on if its locally defined (as in, for use only by that file) or globally (the entire mud). It its defined locally, there will be a prototype declaration at the top of the file. To make it global, delete that definition and put it in mud.h. Generally thats all there is to it. If the declaration is NOT there then it should work from other files anyways. |

| Another option is to simply put declarations at the top of the new file. If you want to be able to call find_first_step else where, you can add:int find_first_step(whatever the arguments for it is);
If your using global variables declared in track.c, you can reference them with the "extern" prefix:
And if you need macros in another file, you can put them in mud.h as whiteknight says, or just copy and paste into your new file. If you willbe using it in only a few places, better individual files, but if more than a few, better to put them in mud.h |
