| I am trying to spit out a basic string of character info, name, race, age, etc. I thought this would do it, but it just returns the strings, and no ch data.
What am I doing wrong here?
~Xin
void do_info(CHAR_DATA * ch, char *argument)
{
if (IS_NPC(ch))
{
do_oldscore(ch, argument);
return;
}
pager_printf( ch, "\n\rYou are ", ch->name);
pager_printf( ch, ", a ", capitalize(get_race(ch)));
switch(ch->sex)
{
case 1: pager_printf( ch, " male");
case 2: pager_printf( ch, " female");
}
pager_printf( ch, ". You are ", get_age(ch));
pager_printf( ch, " years of age.\n\r");
return;

| Lemme guess, you've done a lot of scripting and Visual Basic. Not a real problem but theres some serious adjusting to be done here to get this to work.

Up until here you look good, this is where the problems start though.

Ok, to return the value rather than the variable here you need to use an identifier, %d for instance, to hold the place of the value you want to return as part of your printout. Granted, youre actually very close to proper formatting for doing this as a terminal application but that won't quite work in a mud environment.
