I have this in my nanny() under the CON_PRESS_ENTER case:
                if (maxChanges > 0)
                {
                        for (i = 0; i < maxChanges; i++)
                                if (changes_table[i].immchange == 1
                                    && !IS_IMMORTAL(ch))
                                        immchanges++;
                        ch_printf(ch,
                                  "&BT&zhere is a total of &B[&w %3d &B]&z changes in the database.\n\r",
                                  maxChanges - immchanges);

                }
This just tells people of how many there are total, but you could pull the line that has how many changes today from the changes.c file fairly easily.

This is what I have.
    i = num_changes();

    if( i > 0 )
    {
        sprintf(buf, "&RThere have been &G%d&R change(s) to the MUD today. &WType &z'&YCHANGES&z'&W to view them.\n\r", i );
        send_to_char(buf, ch);
    }

like in greavens example the variables would have to be global wouldn't they so that you could reuse them from a different function?

If you want to know what it is, it's a function from changes.c, I thought you meant what is the code.

Man my head is killing me from trying to figure this out. alright so i got bored and just placed your example in, Zeno and it comes up with a comm.c:2504: warning: implicit declaration of function `num_changes' meaning there isn't a function num_changes right?

Why don't you look? If there is, then you need to define the function prototype at the top of comm.c

Well does the function exist? That's the first thing to check.

I'm not sure I understand. If the function doesn't exist, how are you adding it if you don't know what the function body contains?
